Mexico's deputy health minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell said on Thursday that Mexico will continue applying doses of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine even as some countries have suspended its use.

Health authorities in Denmark, Norway and Iceland suspended the use of AstraZeneca's vaccine following reports of the formation of blood clots in some people who had been vaccinated.
