Health authorities in Denmark and Norway said on Thursday they had temporarily suspended the use of AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine shots after reports of the formation of blood clots in some who have been vaccinated.

The move comes after Austria stopped using a batch of AstraZeneca shots while investigating death from coagulation disorders and an illness from a pulmonary embolism.
