COPENHAGEN -- Denmark on Wednesday became the first country to stop using AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine altogether, following news of its possible link to very rare blood clot cases, health authorities said.
The decision will push back the scheduled conclusion of Denmark's vaccination scheme to early August from July 25, they said.
Results of investigations into the blood clots "showed real and serious side effects," health agency head Soren Brostrom said in a statement.
"Based on an overall consideration, we have therefore chosen to continue the vaccination programme for all target groups without this vaccine."

The question is not the relative risk of the Astra vaccine vs Covid.
It is there alternatives - Pfizer / Moderna - which do no have the same risks.
