Here's what to know about the risk of blood clots and the AstraZeneca vaccine
CNN
The UK's medicines regulator said that at least 30 people in the United Kingdom had experienced rare types of blood clots after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, but warned it was too early to say whether the shot itself triggered the clots. Here's what we know.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said in a statement late Thursday it received 22 reports of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), where clotting forms in the sinuses that drain blood from the brain, and eight other reports of thrombosis, out of a total of 15.8 million people who had been given at least one dose of the vaccine by March 21. A breakdown of the MHRA's CVST data showed four people had died, but the agency did not immediately respond to CNN's questions to confirm whether there had been fatalities.More Related News
