Denmark is extending its suspension of AstraZeneca Plc’s Covid-19 vaccine for another three weeks, while Sweden will only use it on people older than 65, as concerns over severe side effects linger.

Danish health officials said their research to date hasn’t shown a causal link. But at the same time, it’s not yet possible to rule out a connection, Soren Brostrom, head of the Danish Health Authority, told reporters in Copenhagen on Thursday.
