Update on AstraZeneca vaccine guidance
The North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (NCL CCG), governing healthcare in the region that the borough of Haringey is a part of, has published updated AstraZeneca vaccine guidance on its website.
‘The UK vaccination programme has been very successful, with over 30 million people vaccinated and 6,000 lives saved.
‘There have been some reports of a very rare condition involving blood clots. Although extremely rare, there appears to be a higher risk in people shortly after the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Around 4 people develop this condition for every million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine doses given.
‘This is seen slightly more often in younger people and tends to occur between 4 days and 2 weeks following vaccination.
‘Although very rare, if you experience a severe headache, unexplained bruising, shortness of breath, chest pain, leg swelling or persistent abdominal pain 4 days to 4 weeks after vaccination, seek medical advice urgently.’
