Former CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden weighs in on vaccine distribution on FOX News Live
A 60-year-old Danish woman who succumbed to a blood clot after receiving a vaccine developed by AstraZeneca had a highly unusual disease state, according to the Danish Medicines Agency.
The statement follows Denmark s decision to suspend the use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine after some people who received the jab later developed blood clots. Denmark s Health Authority noted its move to suspend the use of the jab was based on a precautionary principle and that one person who developed a blood clot after vaccination had died. Ireland became the latest country on Sunday to temporarily suspend distributing the vaccine out of an abundance of caution, Reuters reported. The move was announced after reports of blood clotting in some of the recipients in Norway.
