❓Should we be worried about the AstraZeneca vaccine?

Several EU countries have suspended the vaccine.

France, Italy and Germany have all halted the rollout over blood clot fears.

So far across the EU and UK, there have been 15 events of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) - and 22 events of pulmonary embolism (PE) reported among those given the vaccine.

💉 Around 17m AstraZeneca vaccines were delivered in that time
That means that the risk of suffering from DVT or a PE after vaccination is 37 in 17m, or roughly one in 460,000

In a population of 17m we might expect 326 cases of DVT / PE to naturally show up in the week following a vaccine.

37 starts to look very low
🦠 Even if all 37 cases were linked to the vaccine (which is highly unlikely) the risk is still far greater from coronavirus itself.
