They said they had seen data showing “signals” of an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium.
The pericardium is the double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the main vessels.
Data point to an increased incidence also in connection with vaccination against Covid, mainly in adolescents and young adults and mainly in boys and men.
New preliminary Nordic analyzes indicate that the connection is especially clear when it comes to Moderna’s vaccine, especially after the second dose, the agency said.
"The increase in risk is seen within four weeks after the vaccination, mainly within the first two weeks," it said.
Denmark has also temporarily stopped using the Moderna injection in people under the age of 18, citing similar reasons.
Earlier this year, the roll out of the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab was suspended in several European countries amid reports of blood clots.
