The risk of suffering a serious blood clot from the AstraZeneca vaccine has doubled in the last fortnight according to new research. Despites this, the UK regulator continues to claim that the benefits of having the jab, outweigh the risks.
New data from the Medical Healthcare products and Regulatory Agency (MHRA) reveals that blood clot cases have risen from 79 to 168 since April 8, and deaths from 19 to 32.
Now it’s claimed that the risk of developing a blood clot has gone up from one in 250,000 to around one in 126,600. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has recommended that the under-30’s are given an alternative to the AZ jab.
The MHRA has updated its advice and is now urging people to contact a doctor immediately, if they experience a severe headache from around four days of vaccination, which doesn’t improve with painkillers and feels worse when lying down or bending over.
The regulator also warned people to contact a GP if headaches are accompanied by blurred vision, confusion, difficulty with speech, weakness, drowsiness or seizures.
People are also being asked to look out for a rash that looks like a small bruise or bleeding under the skin, shortness of breath, chest pain, leg swelling and persistent stomach pain.
