JAKARTA – Vaccination expert Elisabeth Jane Soepardi says that one billion doses of AstraZeneca vaccine have been used worldwide. Although, there are a few cases of blood clotting in AstraZeneca vaccine recipients.
“More than a billion doses of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine have been received by the international community. WHO has also declared this vaccine safe, ”Jane said in her statement, quoted on Tuesday May 18th.
Jane said the AstraZeneca vaccine is the most widely used vaccine in the world. Countries in Europe like the UK and Italy have reported significant declines in mortality following covid-19 vaccination, including the use of the Astrazeneca vaccine.
Regarding various reports of cases of blood clotting after receiving AstraZeneca injections in several European countries, it has been confirmed that there is insufficient evidence that blood clots are caused by the Astrazeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
Data in Europe showed no significant change in the data on thromboembolism events after vaccination, compared to before vaccination with AstraZeneca.
“The health data in Northern Europe is very detailed, so it was found that the incidence of blood clots before and after vaccination has not increased. For example, the data on blood clotting in a year is 1000, after vaccination with AstraZeneca the data does not increase, ”he explained.
Known, there is a case of a 22 year old man from Buaran, East Jakarta, named Trio Fauqi Virdaus died after being injected astrazeneca batch of CTMAV547 vaccine a day earlier.
Initially, Trio experienced symptoms of a hot fever after receiving an injection of the AstraZeneca vaccine in Istora Senayan on Wednesday, May 5.
The next day, Trio’s condition weakened and he developed a blood clot. He was then taken to hospital. However, Trio’s life could not be saved. The trio were pronounced dead on Thursday, May 6 at around 12:30 p.m.
Finally, the Ministry of Health has temporarily suspended the use of a single batch of AstraZenexa vaccine type CTMAV547. Vaccination with AstraZeneca continued. However, the use of AstraZeneca in addition to similar lots injected into Trio has not been used.
