This is not a temporary stop, as with the J&J vaccine in US and several EU countries. This is a permanent ban on the AstraZeneca vaccine for COVID-19 in Denmark, apparently due to its side effects. Considering Denmark is part of the EU, it may soon trigger all other members to do the same.
"...Denmark has become the first country to permanently halt the use of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine following its possible link to very rare cases of blood clots. The Danish health authority said on Wednesday that, following its own review, the country’s vaccine rollout would continue without the AstraZeneca shot, as it warned of a “real risk of severe side effects.” “Based on the scientific findings, our overall assessment is there is a real risk of severe side effects associated with using the COVID-19 vaccine from AstraZeneca,” said DHA director general Søren Brostrøm. “We have, therefore, decided to remove the vaccine from our vaccination program,” he added.
