UK: Under-30s offered alternative to Oxford-AstraZeneca jab
BBC ^ | Apr 2021 | Nick Triggle, Health Correspondent

The recommendation comes after a review by the UK drugs regulator found that by the end of March 79 people had suffered rare blood clots after vaccination - 19 of whom had died.

The regulator said this was not proof the jab had caused the clots.

But it said the link was getting firmer.

Nearly two-thirds of the cases of rare clots were seen in women.

Anyone who suffers symptoms such as a persistent headache, blurred vision or confusion for four days or more after vaccination or who experience unusual skin bruising, shortness of breath or chest pain are being asked to seek medical advice.

England's deputy chief medical officer, Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, described the move as a "course correction" - and said it was normal in medicine to change preferences in this way.

He also said the impact on the government's promise to offer all adults a jab by the end of July should be "zero or negligible" as long as the expected supplies of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines - the other two Covid vaccines in use in the UK - arrived as expected in the coming months.

If anyone should learn the name of the countries that were once collectively known as Christendom, please let the rest of us know; in the meantime, all we have is "Stupidland".

“Nearly two-thirds of the cases of rare clots were seen in women.”
These blood clots can also be caused by birth control medications.

France’s cut off age is 55. Over 30 and 55 are approaching or on the downhill side of life so why bother with them.

Mix and match. A little of this and a little of that. What could possibly go wrong?
