AstraZeneca says there is “no evidence” that the company’s corona vaccine increases the risk of blood clots. Several countries are temporarily not using the AstraZeneca vaccine as a precautionary measure.

The company said it had conducted a “cautious analysis” of the available data on who received vaccinations with the AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK and the European Union.
“ About 17 million people in the European Union and the UK have now received our vaccine, and the number of blood clot cases reported in this group is less than the hundreds of cases expected in the general population, ” said medical director Ann Taylor .
“The nature of the pandemic has led to an increased focus on individual cases,” it said.

According to the European Medicines Agency EMA, there is no evidence that the clots were caused by the corona vaccine. The number of cases that occur among vaccinated people is also no higher than among the entire population, according to the regulator. The WHO also says there is no cause for concern.
