Public health activists who have been tracking adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) in the ongoing covid vaccination effort have repeatedly sought greater transparency in AEFI investigations and more rapid causality assessments to help inform vaccination policy.
After initial denial, the European Union and the UK medicine regulators, following detailed investigation, have concluded that there is a possible link between some blood clotting events with low platelets and the Oxford-Astra Zeneca vaccine and have asked for these to be listed as “extremely rare potential side-effects”. However, they have asked for the vaccination to continue as benefits still outweigh risks.
The presentation to National AEFI Committee on March 31, showed that over 90% of AEFI hospitalisations (276/305), more than 87% of cases of severe AEFI (55/63) and 93 out of 124 deaths happened within three days of the vaccination.
