COPENHAGEN, May 3 (Reuters) – Denmark’s health authority said on Monday that the country will no longer use Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 shots as part of its vaccination programme.

The move comes after the Nordic country last month stopped using AstraZeneca’s vaccine altogether citing similar concerns.
