AstraZeneca COVID Vaccine Unlikely to Cause Blood Clots, Scientists Say On 3/12/21 at 4:41 AM EST Scientists have said it is unlikely that the AstraZeneca vaccine causes blood clots after a number of EU countries temporarily stopped using it because of safety concerns. On March 11, Denmark, Iceland, and Norway all said they were suspending use of the vaccine amid reports a small number of people had developed blood clots after receiving it. The European Medicines Agency said later that day it was investigating the cases referred to as thromboembolic events but added that there was no indication the vaccination was the cause and that countries could continue to use the jab while the investigation was ongoing.
