At the same time, the study shows a much higher incidence of rare blood clots among corona infected people.
According to BioPharma Reporter the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) was 1.3 times higher among those vaccinated than in the control group. However, it was 8 times as high among those who had been diagnosed with covid-19.
The study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, has been published in the medical journal The Lancet.
It is funded by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and contains data on 6 million people in the Spanish region of Catalonia. 1.3 million of them had been vaccinated, of which just over half were from the Pfizer variant.
