It is noted that it is not yet clear whether this is just a coincidence or an actual side effect of the vaccine.
The Regulatory Agency for Medicines and Health Care Products says the benefits and the former outweigh any risks. The World Health Organization and the European Medicines Agency supported this conclusion.
On Friday, April 2, the MHRA released data on 22 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), which is a type of blood clot in the brain.
And the MHRA confirmed in a letter to the BBC that “sadly seven people have died”.
“The benefits of preventing Covid-19 infection and its complications still outweigh any risks, and the public should continue to receive the vaccine when invited to do so,” said June Rein, executive director of the MHRA.
Research is currently underway to determine if the AstraZeneca vaccine is causing blood clots.
Remember that the Netherlands is discontinuing the use of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine for people under the age of 60 due to side effects of the drug. The ban will be in effect until April 7. Canada has also stopped using the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine. The decision applies to 55-year-olds for fear of blood clots.
At the same time, the scientific committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) found no connection between vaccination with the vaccine company AstraZeneca and cases of thrombosis. According to the conclusion, the vaccine is safe and effective.
