UK Records 30 Thrombosis Cases After Vaccination With AstraZeneca Drug, Medicines Agency Says
01:27 GMT 02.04.2021 (Updated: 15:13 GMT 28.05.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The United Kingdom has registered 30 cases of blood clots following vaccination with the AstraZeneca drug, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency said.
In mid-March, the United Kingdom reported only five thrombosis cases after the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
"Up to and including 24 March, we have received 22 reports of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and 8 reports of other thrombosis events with low platelets, out of a total of 18.1 million doses of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca given by that date. There were no reports for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine", the agency said in a statement late Thursday.
Several EU countries halted the rollout of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine in mid-March following dozens of reports of blood clotting after vaccination. However, the regulatory bodies found no direct link between the vaccination and thrombosis, and also said the benefits of the drug outweighed the existing risks. After that, several heads of EU countries and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson were vaccinated with the AstraZeneca drug to restore public trust in the vaccine.
