The Danish health authority said Thursday that it will pause vaccinations with AstraZeneca PLC's coronavirus vaccine for 14 days after reports of cases of blood clots in vaccinated people.

"The Danish and European pharmaceutical authorities are keeping a close eye on the rollout of vaccines against Covid-19, both in terms of the more common mild side effects and the rare, but serious, possible side effects," the Danish authority said in a statement on its website.

It said the national board of health would wait for European Union drug authorities to investigate possible connections between AstraZeneca's vaccine and the reported blood clot cases.
