The EU's drugs regulator has said that blood clots should be listed as a "very rare" side effect of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine.
The European Medicines Agency said in a statement that it had found a "possible link" between the jab and clots.
But it added that the benefits of the Covid-19 vaccine outweighed the risks.
Out of more than seven million people who have received the jab in the US, eight people developed rare blood clots, including one person who died.
Earlier this month, the EMA made the same recommendation for the Covid-19 vaccine produced by Oxford-AstraZeneca.
That recommendation, made on 7 April, came after 86 out of 25 million Europeans administered with the jab developed the unusual blood clots.
The UK then stopped administering the AstraZeneca vaccine to people under 30 years old.
Last week, the EU, the US and South Africa paused the rollout of the Johnson & Johnson jab in response to the reports of rare blood clotting.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the EMA recommended that blood clots should be listed as a "very rare" side effect of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine (also known as the Janssen vaccine).
The cases of clotting in the US "occurred in people under 60 years of age within three weeks after vaccination, the majority in women", the regulator said.
"One plausible explanation for the combination of blood clots and low blood platelets is an immune response, leading to a condition similar to one seen sometimes in patients treated with heparin called heparin induced thrombocytopenia, HIT," it said.
Heparin is a blood thinner given to people with clotting disorders.
But the risks associated with the virus itself are still higher than the vaccine, it added.

If you’re the guy, all it takes is one.
Underplayed. Scary. Not worth it.
never trust a government that opens its border and distributes thousands of disease carrying invaders across its country during a so called global pandemic...
Hard pass for me.
If we can save just one........ha
If and when I get any of the vaccines, I plan to take tumeric and garlic. Both are natural blood thinners.
Just as a precaution.
One of the Bee Gees family member just died after covid shot.
As far as I can tell..she was adopted. So she wouldnt have the genes for the heart issues that the various Gibbs had.
Except for the person getting them from taking the vaccine; then it’s not rare.
6 out of 7 million
birth control clots: 1 in 1000
VAERS reports a breastfeeding five-month old infant has died of TTP - a rare clotting disorder linked to, yes, low platelets. He became ill one day after his mother received her second @pfizer shot.
This is an authentic and highly detailed report. pic.twitter.com/oNeWeFyYdp— Alex Berenson (@AlexBerenson) April 23, 2021
They talk about the side effects being rare. So are the side effects of the virus. So I’ll pass.
All of the clots were in women between 30 and 50.
How many the result of birth control pills? They are known to cause blood clots.
More, they don’t know the vaccine was the cause of the clots.
“But out of an abundance of caution...”
FU guys and your very rare side effect malarky.
I took the Shyngrix shot two weeks on Friday.
Woke up Saturday and it felt like someone had broken my arm where the shot had been injected.
The skin 3” wide and 6” long from my bicep to my tricep looked and felt dead.
Every joint hurt
I had a headache that isn’t like the one I wake with every morning from bruxism
My back as in excruciating pain in the middle and at the belt line.
That put me in bed for 3 days, took a week until I could function the skin turned red and still partly red.
It didn’t feel like some anecdotal event to me.
The female who had 3 brain surgeries was 18.
Temporarily sore left deltoid the day after.
Second Moderna a few days ago. I had to track down a provider for the second vaccination on vaccinefinder.org.
So far, same deltoid soreness and maybe a little malaise.
I am relieved to be done with this.
How was it proved that the blood clot came from the Johnson & Johnson shot? I would like to see the evidence!
Ever since I got my shots, and they altered my genes and implanted that chip, I’m starting to grow a nice set of antlers.
I paid a little extra and got the "Third eye in the middle of the forehead" option. My night vision is now excellent, but I haven't yet sorted out the sunglasses problem.
I dread getting the Shingrix vaccine more than I dreaded getting J&J covid vaccine. Still, I’d rather deal with the side effects of that than deal with shingles.
