EU drug regulator: Unusual blood clot is 'very rare AstraZeneca side effect'

L Anto Rosario Good Health and Well-being

The EU's medicines regulator says unusual blood clots should be listed as a very rare side effect of the AstraZeneca vaccine for Covid-19.

After a study looking at 86 such cases in the EU, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) concluded the benefits of the vaccine outweighed the risk.

There was no definite causal link, and although most cases were in women under 60, they also occurred in men.

The EU has vaccinated more than 20 million people.
