A top official in the European Medicines Agency said in an interview published Tuesday that there was a link between the
AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine and blood clots. The EMA s official stance has been that the AstraZeneca jab is safe and that the benefits vastly outweigh the risks.
“In my opinion, we can say it now, it is clear there is a link with the- vaccine. But we still do not know what causes this reaction,” EMA head of vaccines Marco Cavaleri told Italy’s Il Messaggero newspaper.
He said that “in the next few hours, we will say that there is a connection, but we still have to understand how this happens”.
Persistent questions on whether rare but serious blood clots among those getting the AstraZeneca jab against Covid-19 are more frequent than in the general population, and what causes them if they are, have continued to undermine confidence in the beleaguered vaccine.
