Norway is also extending its temporary halt on the use of the Johnson & Johnson shot, but has not excluded it from its inoculation campaign for now, Solberg said.
‘Along with Norway, Denmark also stopped using the AstraZeneca’s vaccine, as a precautionary measure after rare blood clots occurred after vaccination, including deaths.’
The government is currently looking into offering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to those willing to receive it.
The country had not yet started using the Johnson & Johnson jab.
The committee’s recommendations were based partly on the current situation in Norway, where infections are low compared to other countries.
Norway stopped using the AstraZeneca’s vaccine on March 11 as a precautionary measure after rare blood clots occurred after vaccination, including deaths. Some 138,000 people had received the vaccine up until then.
Denmark excluded the AstraZeneca vaccine from its inoculation program just over a month ago.
