Women warned of birth control pill, vaccine risk

Birth control pills run a risk of causing blood clots and women may consider stopping taking the pills before receiving jabs against Covid-19, says Siraya Kitiyodom, an obstetrician-gynaecologist at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital.
In a live-streaming session on the issue, Dr Siraya said women who take contraceptive pills are more at risk of having blood clots than those who do not, because the pills contain hormones that can trigger blood clots.
She said there is no evidence as to what effects the Covid-19 vaccine might have on the health of women taking the pills. Regardless, some European countries have warned women on birth control pills to delay receiving vaccinations until the effects wear off, which takes about one month.
