Last week, several countries stopped the Astra Zeneca vaccine, because some people developed blood clots after vaccination. But the Swedish Public Health Agency and the Swedish Medicines Agency did not believe there was enough evidence that the blood clots were due to the vaccine. Blood clots were no more common among vaccinated people than among others, says Anders Tegnell of the Public Health Agency.
Now it’s about another suspect secondary effect. It is a kind of bleeding. It is a serious side effect, which only a few vaccinated people have had in the EU. None of them were in Sweden. In all, people have received 17 million doses of Astra Zeneca vaccine.
European Medicines Agency, EMA, he is now investigating whether the bleeding has anything to do with the Astra Zeneca vaccine. Sweden is stopping the vaccine for safety, until the study is completed. The EMA has a meeting on Thursday and then a new decision can be made.
