No new cases of a rare and severe blood clots following vaccination with AstraZeneca's Covid shot have been reported in Britain in recent weeks after a decision to restrict its use in under-40s, British scientists said on Wednesday.
Sue Pavord, a consultant haematologist at Oxford University Hospitals who led the research, said the incident usually affected young people who were otherwise healthy, and was especially dangerous if it resulted in bleeding in the brain.
“We haven't seen new cases for the last four weeks or so and this has been a tremendous relief,” she told reporters.
