A senior representative of the EU Medicines Agency (EMA) has drawn a link between coronavirus vaccination with the AstraZeneca vaccine and the occurrence of blood clots in individual vaccinated people.

"We can now say that it is clear that there is a connection with the vaccine," said the head of the EMA vaccination department, Marco Cavaleri, with a view to the thromboses after AstraZeneca vaccinations in an interview published today with the Italian newspaper "Il Messaggero".

In the interview he let it be known that the EMA would officially establish the connection "in the next few hours". However, according to Cavaleris, it is not yet clear how the vaccine triggers blood clots in vaccinated people in a few cases. The EMA had scheduled a review of the AstraZeneca vaccine for today through Friday.

"We're trying to get an accurate picture of what's happening," said Cavaleri. The EMA wants to "define in a precise way this syndrome caused by the vaccine". In younger people who had received the AstraZeneca vaccine, there was a number of brain thromboses that was higher "than we would expect," said Cavaleri.

British authority examines cases of thrombosis
It was previously announced that the UK Medicines Agency is investigating cases of rare blood clots in the brain after vaccination with AstraZeneca's preparation. The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) announced. Before that, there had been a media report that the authority is considering no longer recommending the preparation for people under 30.

"Our thorough and detailed investigation into reports of very rare and specific types of blood clots with low platelet counts after vaccination with AstraZeneca continues," said MHRA chief June Raine, according to the press release. A regulatory decision has not yet been made, she said, however. The authority called for vaccination appointments to continue.

South Korea is considering export ban
South Korea, meanwhile, is considering an export ban for the AstraZeneca vaccine produced in the country. That said a representative of the vaccination campaign. Last week it became known that a vaccine delivery from the Covax international vaccination program for South Korea had been reduced to 432,000 instead of the originally planned 690,000 units.
