BERLIN (Reuters) – Instances of rare clotting in women aged under 60 who received AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine were 20 times higher than would normally be expected, Christian Bogdan, a member of Germany’s vaccine committee, said on Wednesday.
His comments came as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Britain’s medical regulator acknowledged a possible link between the AstraZeneca vaccine to rare cases of unusual blood clots with low blood platelet counts.
Most cases have been reported in women and, although very rare, their higher prevalence in a particular population group over a defined timeframe represented a “very clear risk signal”, Bogdan told an online briefing.
