A growing list of European countries have suspended use of AstraZeneca s Covid-19 vaccine as a precuationary measure pending review from Europe s health regulator.
France became the latest country to do so, following Italy and Germany earlier today, while they await a ruling by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Tuesday afternoon.
Previous guidance from the EMA has said the benefits of the shot outweigh any potential risks.
Here s a look at the European countries that have suspended use of the AstraZeneca vaccine so far:
Denmark: On Thursday, Denmark suspended AstraZeneca vaccinations for 14 days as a “precautionary measure” as it investigates “signs of a possible serious side effect in the form of fatal blood clots” after one Danish person died following vaccination, according to Danish health officials.
