Researchers say the vaccine can activate platelets that play a role in blood clotting.

Coronavirus – the second year

More than a year has passed since the Chinese authorities informed the WHO of the emergence of a new, rapidly spreading virus. Since then, there has hardly been a person in the world who has not heard the term Covid-19, and more and more people are mourning a family member or friend with whom the new disease has ended while stocks have run out. collapsed in weeks and our whole lives. they have been rewritten by the epidemic.

Staff at the Greifswald Training Hospital in northern Germany say they have found the cause of a rare blood clotting condition that has occurred in some people vaccinated with AstraZeneca, writes 24.hu to North German Broadcasting Company (NDR).

The researchers examined 6 affected blood cells and found that the AstraZeneca vaccine could activate platelets, also known as platelets, that are involved in blood clotting. Platelets play a role in wound healing when blood clots and the wound closes. Study participants found that the vaccine activated this mechanism in some patients, leading to the formation of blood clots in the brain.

Doctors said the discovery could help develop a specific treatment for such cases.

Norwegian experts reported Thursday that the vaccination was highly likely to elicit a severe immune response in some patients.

As in several other countries, Norway temporarily suspended AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine after some people developed deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism after vaccination.

Neither the European Medicines Agency nor the World Health Organization supports ending the vaccination program, but Hungarian GPs have already met with patients who refuse to be vaccinated out of fear.

AstraZeneca said in a statement Sunday that no scientific evidence suggests that the company’s developed vaccine against the new type of coronavirus would increase the risk of blood clots.

The European Medicines Agency said Thursday that the committee that examined the drug had reached a clear scientific conclusion that it was a safe and effective vaccine that was not associated with an increased risk of blood clots.

A total of 9 deaths were reported that were conditionally associated with vaccination. These people were generally under the age of 55, and the majority were women. The report emphasizes that, in general, the number of thromboembolic events reported after vaccination was lower than expected in the general population. This is based on the fact that the risk of blood clots does not increase as a result of vaccination.
