Confidence in the AstraZeneca vaccine against coronavirus is being shaken as more European countries suspend its usage.
Some recipients have fallen ill but a link between the development of blood clots in patients and the doses hasn't been established.
France has suspended its use of the AstraZeneca vaccine pending a review.
Denmark and Norway had already stopped vaccinating while Germany is calling its halt of the AstraZeneca vaccine a professional choice, rather than political.
Italy's temporary ban follows the death of a teacher who had received the vaccination.
The Netherlands is noting 10 cases where possible side-effects developed from the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The European Medicines Agency said the so far 30 cases of blood clotting are among the close to five million people vaccinated with the Astra Zeneca shot.
It says there is no indication that blood clotting issues were caused by the vaccination.
