A new review of Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring data finds that only three per cent of reported reactions after receiving the vaccine are classified as serious -- and there have been a total of 17 incidents of severe blood clotting while also experiencing low blood platelet levels.

, published on Friday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, notes that the safety profile of the vaccine so far has been similar to what was seen in clinical trials, but safety monitoring during the vaccine's rollout quickly identified the blood clot incidents.

Overall, there were 17 events consistent with what has been described as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or blood clotting with low blood platelet levels -- including 14 that were cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and three that did not involve the brain's venous sinuses among women younger than 60 during the vaccine pause, according to the report.

In a study published Friday in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, researchers examined data from five mass vaccination sites which reported increased anxiety-related events, including rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, and fainting, following administration of Johnson & Johnson's Janssen COVID-19 vaccine from April 7-9.
