However, it is unclear whether these vaccine side effects occurred in a timely manner or by accident, UK agency head June Raine told the BBC. “The benefits of preventing Covid-19 infection and its complications continue to outweigh any risks and everyone should get vaccinated if invited.”
The authority had previously reported 30 cases of rare blood clots in the 18.1 million Astrazeneca vaccines (as of March 24). Twenty-two cases of cerebral vein thrombosis, which also occurred in Germany, and eight other types of thrombosis were reported. However, here too the connection is unclear.
In Germany, federal and state health ministers decided on Tuesday that the Astrazeneca preparation should generally only be injected to people over 60, unless the younger ones want it at their own risk after clarifying with the doctor. In this country, 31 suspected cases of cerebral vein thrombosis had been reported earlier this week after vaccination against Astrazeneca, as recently reported by the Paul Ehrlich Institute. So far, about three million people have received a starting dose of the drug. This means that in Germany, on the basis of one million people vaccinated, the suspicion of thrombosis of the cerebral veins was much more frequent than in Great Britain. The reasons for this can only be speculated.
In total, more than 31 million people in the UK have received their primary vaccination, more than half of them with Astrazeneca. The infection situation in the country has improved significantly since then, the seven-day incidence was more recently 55 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The number of new daily deaths has also been greatly reduced.
How daring is that! Astrazeneca is simply renaming its problem vaccine(00:36)
