COPENHAGEN—Health authorities in Denmark said on Friday that COVID-19 vaccines from AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson would remain excluded from the country’s vaccine roll-out following a review of new safety data.

“The balance between possible benefit and possible harmful effects is still not favorable, even when we include assumptions in our analyses that benefit the vaccine,” the Danish Health Authority said in a statement.
