Now the Netherlands have also suspended vaccinations with the vaccine from the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca for two weeks.
This is happening on the basis of "new information", said Health Minister Hugo de Jonge on late Sunday evening.
He was referring to six cases of possible side effects in Denmark and Norway this weekend.
According to the ministry, no cases of serious side effects have been reported in the Netherlands so far.
“We always have to play it safe,” said the minister.
"So it is wise to press the pause button now."
On Sunday, the vaccination commission in Ireland had spoken out in favor of suspending vaccinations with the preparation until reports from Norway of four cases of severe blood clots after administration of the agent had been examined.
However, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) stated that there was no noticeable accumulation of thromboses in the temporal connection with the vaccination and that the benefits of administering the AstraZeneca agent were greater than the risks.
AstraZeneca itself again rejected doubts about the safety of its corona vaccine after an analysis of vaccination data.
In Italy, as a precaution, the administration of a certain batch of the vaccine was stopped after "serious adverse events".
Previously, other countries had already withdrawn the product or a batch of AstraZeneca from the market as a precaution.
