The odds of someone getting the syndrome dubbed vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia has been estimated at between one in 100,000 and one in 250,000.
By comparison, about one in four people hospitalized with COVID-19 will experience a blood clot, Alberta s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw noted this week. Certainly based on risks, most people are much better off with a vaccine, said Dr. Daniel Gregson, an associate professor at the University of Calgary s Cumming School of Medicine. You can certainly drop it easily to 45, if not 35.
Gregson, who specializes in infectious diseases and medical microbiology, said uncertainty has been planted in peoples minds about getting AstraZeneca, but they do things that are just as risky on a daily basis without a second thought.
