A heath chief from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has said that there is a link between AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine and blood clots.
"In my opinion, we can say it now, it is clear there is a link with the vaccine," said the EMA's head of vaccines Marco Cavaleri in an interview with Italy's
Il Messaggero newspaper.
Mr Cavaleri indicated that the EMA would confirm this view, adding, "in the next few hours, we will say that there is a connection, but we still have to understand how this happens".
He said that "we still do not know what causes this reaction", as reports accumulate of people across the world experiencing blood clots after receiving the jab developed by British-Swedish drug company AstraZeneca and Oxford University.
