CJGJ Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 UK regulator finds a 0.00006% risk of blood clots with AZ vaccine (thelondoneconomic.com) The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has identified 30 cases of blood clot events after 18.1 million doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine were administered. The regulator has been examining potential links between the vaccine and rare blood clots after reports in Europe led to its roll-out being paused. It identified 30 cases out of 18.1 million doses of the jab administered up to and including March 24, with seven deaths among them. But it is not known whether these cases have occurred as a result of the jab, or whether they would have happened naturally in the population anyway, and people are being urged to continue coming forward for the jab as the benefits far outweigh the risks. The 30 cases in the UK include 22 reports of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and eight of other thrombosis events with low platelets. CVST clots stop blood draining from the brain properly. A number of countries have imposed restrictions on the use of the jab in younger adults. But the head of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has said there is “no evidence” to support restricting the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine in any population. The view is echoed by the World Health Organisation (WHO), which has urged countries to continue using the jab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they reserve stock for second jags. Would imagine so. 1st jags started on 01 March so 1st lot of 2nd AZs likely anytime from 3rd May onwards.

CJGJ Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Breaking news Oxford-AZ vaccine trial on children paused while UK regulator investigates possible link to rare blood clots in adults Three in five UK adults have received a first dose of a coronavirus jab, the health secretary says. Some 31,622,367 have received a first vaccine, with 5,496,716 people now fully vaccinated thanks to a second dose - 10.4% of the adult population. Matt Hancock says it is "fantastic" news and has tweeted his thanks to "everyone involved in the vaccine rollout", saying "we're making great strides in our national Analysis: All medicines can cause side effects - but what's the risk? Nick Triggle Health Correspondent All medicines, from vaccines to paracetamol, have the potential to cause severe side effects. The seasonal flu jab has about a one-in-a-million chance of causing the nerve disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome. The key question is whether the risks are worth the benefits. Even if the vaccine was the cause, and this is still not proven, the numbers suggest about one death in every 2.5 million people vaccinated in the UK. For everyone over the age of 75 infected there is one death per eight Covid infections. For those in their 40s it is one death per 1,000. On the face of it, the risk-benefit ratio is clearly in favour of vaccination if you assume you are going to be infected at some point. But what is needed now is more information about who has been suffering from these rare blood clots. How old are they? Do they have any underlying health conditions that could explain what happened? This will help narrow down the scale of any potential risks. An update from the UK regulator - as well as the European one - is expected in the coming days.

Cade Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 UK media sneakily referring to what was previously trumped as the "OXFORD VACCINE" as the "AstraZenica Vaccine" as soon as the blood clot side effects were proven. The risk of clotting is tiny and the benefits of the vaccine by far outweigh the risk of clotting and you're at more risk from clotting from certain contraception methods and the link between contraception methods and the AZ vaccine is being investigated but it's still interesting to see the UK media suddenly trying to keep the Oxford name out of it. They must think we button up the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 It's insane. Even if the link is proved and there is a causal factor, the tiny percentage of risk is massively outweighed by the benefit of continued use. To protect individuals from illness and also societal and economic benefits from being able to suppress cases and illness and reopen everything. Continued use will save many, many times more lives (non covid) than the deaths it will cause from side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But fowk are daft so as soon as they learn of any *possible* risk they'll start refusing the vaccine.

Some good case rate decreases around the councils, including 4 councils who haven't had any cases in a week. The 7-day average positivity rate is now down to 2, while deaths has reduced to the same figure. Vaccination numbers still in decline.

I'm sure that NS alluded to a switch of emphasis from 1st to 2nd doses during April at briefings a couple of weeks ago. That will require specific stocks to be maintained. We saw peak 1st doses of over 60k a day during the 2nd week of February. That will have to be replicated in 2nd doses inside 12 weeks i.e. by the week ending 9 May.

It will be, huge reserve stock plus slowing down 1st doses will make sure of it. They won’t risk people missing out on 2 dose to basically vaccinate those in very low risk groups.

redjambo Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just now, The Real Maroonblood said: I hope that is the case. I'm fairly sure that it will be, TRM. There are a whole host of second jabs going to be needed to be administered within the 10 week limit over the next 2-3 months. Personally, if I were in charge of stocks then I would have been be salting vials away in order to provide myself with good breathing space in case of future supply issues in order to ensure that there are sufficient vaccines (and of the proper manufacturer) available to provide those second jabs. That could well be what we're seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo-Jimbo Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Around 4 in a million chance of developing a blood clot following the AZ/Oxford vaccine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) From my own tracking of vaccinations, the table below might help understanding of the timing and dosages required to meet the targets. Column 1 & 2 are the cumulative number of 1st doses administered by each date (weekly intervals). Column 3 is the total of 1st doses administered in the previous week ending on the date in column 1. Column 4 is the 12 week target for the corresponding dates in column 1 Column 5 is the date when completing cumulative 2nd doses comparable to the 1st dose number, OR the number of 2nd doses that still need to be be administered to match the 1st dose numbers.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 The EMA to add these blood clots as a possible very rare side effect of the AZ/Oxford vaccine. What effect this will have on public confidence, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
