The decision has been made following the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine’s possible link to extremely rare cases of blood clots, reports BBC News.

Danish health authorities held an official media briefing on Wednesday, where they announced the move and presented a new vaccination timeline for the country.

It comes as Canada's first case of a "very rare" blood clot following the COVISHIELD AstraZeneca vaccine was reported on April 13, 2021.
