According to the British Medicines and Health Products Regulation Agency (MHRA), as of March 21, a total of 18.1 million people had been vaccinated with AstraZeneca, of which 2.2 million had received the second dose. Thirty of them were diagnosed with blood clots, of which seven died, according to the Index.
According to the British Hematological Society, complications seen in patients may be related to thrombocytopenia, a lower than normal number of platelets. However, the scientists emphasized that there is no evidence yet that the complications were caused by the vaccine.
It is important to emphasize that there is currently no clear link between the vaccine and the development of blood clots, said Professor Robin Shattock, a researcher at Imperial College London. In light of the above result, blood clots are no more common in vaccinated people than in the general population, the expert added.
