Other experts pointed out that of the millions of AstraZeneca vaccine shots administered elsewhere, including in Britain, there have been no reported cases of the vaccine causing blood clots or related problems. "At present, it cannot be concluded whether there is a link between the vaccine and the blood clots," authorities said. It said the number of people with blood clots in vaccinated people was no higher than those who hadn't been inoculated. Denmark's suspension of the AstraZeneca vaccine will last for at least two weeks, the agency said, adding it hinged on an evaluation by the EU medical regulator. Britain's medicines regulator reacted by noting there was no confirmation that the reported blood clot was caused by the AstraZeneca vaccine.
