ATAGI met on Wednesday 19 May 2021 to review the latest developments relating to the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine and Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) cases in Australia and overseas.
ATAGI considered updated estimates of risk of TTS by age group in Australia and note that 20 cases have been confirmed and a further 3 are considered probable in around 1.5 million doses of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca given up to 5 May 2021. Although estimates of risk based on small numbers of cases are imprecise, the risk of TTS is estimated in Australia at around:
2.8 per 100,000 in those
1.4 per 100,000 in those ≥50 years.
Of the cases of TTS reported after vaccination with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine in Australia, one of these patients had a fatal outcome. All other patients are stable or recovering.
