Most of the cases are related to AstraZeneca s vaccine, which the country has stopped using.
A total of 29 people have applied for compensation for side effects believed to be linked to the Swedish-British jab - which was renamed Vaxzevria last month - the Danish Patient Compensation Association said in a statement on Thursday.
A further eight people applied for compensation in connection with the coronavirus jab made by Pfizer.
The side effects cited in the applications range from mild fever and discomfort to such extreme conditions as paralysis, blood clots, miscarriage, and even death. In Denmark, patients are eligible for state-sponsored compensations if they suffer rare or severe adverse effects of any medicines. The relatives of patients who have died can also receive compensation.
