Covid-19 is nine times more likely to cause a serious blood clot than the AstraZeneca vaccine, Chief Health Officer Paul Kelly said today.
A study of 500,000 Covid-19 patients in the US found that 36 in a million developed a potentially deadly blood clot.
By comparison, only four per million people suffer a serious blood clot as a result of the AstraZeneca jab. So, having COVID itself is a risk of clotting, said Professor Kelly, who noted that 16 per cent of people hospitalised with the disease suffered some form of clotting.
Professor Kelly was seeking to reassure Australians who are hesitant about the jab after a 48-year-old woman died five days after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.
