UK to Offer Alternative to AstraZeneca Vaccine as Blood Clots Deaths Rise to 49

The UK health authorities said on Friday that people under 40 will be offered an alternative to the Oxford/AstraZeneca CCP virus vaccine.

According to the UK’s medicines regulator, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), 49 people have died after developing blood clots following vaccination with the AstraZeneca shot.

As of April 28, there have been 242 cases of post-vaccination blood clotting events, which occurred in 141 women and 100 men aged from 18 to 93 years.

Professor Wei Shen Lim, COVID-19 chairman for JCVI, said: “We have continued to assess the benefit/risk balance of COVID-19 vaccines in light of UK infection rates and the latest information from the MHRA on the extremely rare event of blood clots and low platelet counts following vaccination.

“As COVID-19 rates continue to come under control, we are advising that adults aged 18 to 39 years with no underlying health conditions are offered an alternative to the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, if available and if it does not cause delays in having the vaccine.

“The advice is specific to circumstances in the UK at this time and maximises use of the wide portfolio of vaccines available.

“The COVID-19 vaccines have already saved thousands of lives and the benefit for the majority of the population is clear—if you are offered the vaccine, you should take it.”

Experts have also assessed the risks from any third wave of CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus infections in the UK and concluded that that wave is likely to be smaller than previously anticipated, therefore the risks to younger people are lower.

The supply of alternative vaccines, including Pfizer and Moderna, has also meant there can be a change.

Dr. June Raine, MHRA chief executive, said: “Public safety is always at the forefront of our minds and we take every report seriously.”

You don’t have to ‘die’ from the vaccine for it to be bad either, you could have a stroke or a pulmonary embolism from blood clots
