The Lithuanian government has turned to Denmark, asking to take over some of its AstraZeneca vaccine doses after the country stopped using them.
“We turned [to Denmark] yesterday [April 14]. We said that if Denmark were to consider sharing their vaccines, we d be happy to be among those who could take them over,” Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė told reporters on Thursday.
Denmark announced this week that it decided to stop using the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, branded as Vaxzevria, altogether because of suspected rare but serious side effects.
Lithuania temporarily halted its use last month over reports about rare cases of blood clotting, but resumed vaccination after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) said the side effects were extremely rare and benefits outweighed the risks.
