The Comirnarty (Pfizer/ BioNTech) vaccine
Medsafe has completed a review of the risk of rare cases of blood clots with bleeding (Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome; TTS), reported internationally with some COVID-19 vaccines. At the current time, there is no evidence of a risk of TTS with the Comirnarty (Pfizer/ BioNTech) vaccine.
Medsafe has finished an initial evaluation of international reports of a rare syndrome of blood clots (thrombosis) occurring with bleeding (due to thrombocytopenia) and platelet factor 4 antibodies. To date, all the cases that have been reported after vaccination are linked to the first dose of Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) or the Janssen COVID-19 vaccines. These vaccines are not currently used in New Zealand.
