With more than 20 million people receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine in the UK, there was a four in one million chance of developing a blood clot.
MHRA chief Dr June Raine said the clots were “extremely rare” and the benefits of the jab were clear.
But, she said, a risk/benefit analysis of the AstraZeneca shot was more “favourable for older people but it is more finely balanced for younger people”, who were less likely to be admitted to hospital with Covid-19.
“The evidence is firming up and our review has concluded that while it’s a strong possibility, more work is needed to establish beyond all doubt that the vaccine has caused these side effects,” she said.
