The AstraZeneca vaccine gets the go-ahead from the EMA and administrations will resume tomorrow in Italy, AIFA and Prime Minister Mario Draghi announced. But what are the suspicious signs, those that may suggest adverse events or side effects, that need to be known and monitored? The answer comes from the European Medicines Agency itself.
“Wheezing, chest or stomach pain, swelling or cold in an arm or leg, severe or worsening headache or blurred vision after vaccination, persistent bleeding, multiple small bruises, reddish or purplish spots, or blood blisters under the skin: in the presence of these symptoms “, after vaccination against Covid with AstraZeneca serum,” they immediately seek medical assistance and report having recently been vaccinated, “explains the EMA.
“The AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine – reports the EU regulatory body in the information addressed to patients, after the evaluation carried out on the product of the Anglo-Swedish company – is not associated with an increased global risk of disorders of the blood clotting “. However, “there have been very rare cases of unusual blood clots, accompanied by low levels of platelets (components that help blood clotting), after vaccination. Almost all reported cases were in women under 55 years of age” . The key message remains that “because Covid-19 can be so serious and widespread, the benefits of the vaccine to prevent it outweigh the risks of side effects.”
