EU regulator finds possible Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, blood clot link
Fox News
A European Union regulator has recommended that the J&J COVID-19 vaccine should include a warning about unusual blood clots with low platelets.
Johnson & Johnson had postponed its rollout of the vaccine in Europe after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and FDA flagged six instances of rare, severe blood clots occurring with low platelets. All six cases involved women under 60 and occurred within three weeks of inoculation, the agencies had said. During an emergency meeting held by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Johnson & Johnson revealed a seventh woman had reported a blood clot, but it did not occur in the brain like the others and another case that involved a male during clinical trials but could not be linked to the shot at that time.More Related News
