Denmark removes Johnson & Johnson COVID shot from its vaccine program
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe single-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has been taken out of Denmark’s vaccination program to investigate reports of rare but potentially dangerous blood clots, Danish health authorities say.
Denmark has already taken the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine out of its vaccination program. The J&J and AstraZeneca shots are made with similar technology.
In a statement, the Danish Health Authority says it “has concluded that the benefits of using the COVID-19 vaccine from Johnson & Johnson do not outweigh the risk of causing the possible adverse effect.”
