The European Medicines Agency says people who have received a first dose of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine should also get the second one despite the rare risk of blood clots that have been linked to the shot.

The Associated Press

“At this stage, the available data supports continuing to give a second dose of the vaccine," said Noël Wathion, the agency's deputy executive director. Earlier this month, the Amsterdam-based drug regulator for the 27-nation EU said there was a “possible link” between the AstraZeneca vaccine and rare blood clotting disorders, but that the vaccine dramatically reduced the risk of being hospitalized or killed by COVID-19.

Last month, more than a dozen countries, mostly in Europe, suspended their use of the AstraZeneca jab over the blood clot issue. Most restarted — some with age restrictions — after the EMA said countries should continue using the vaccine. EU health commissioner Stella Kyriakides said she hoped the EMA advice would reassure countries about the AstraZeneca vaccine. She said she had written to all of the EU’s health ministers to try to obtain “the maximum possible coordination of our approaches, based on science.”

Although studies have begun in Britain and Spain to test whether it’s safe and effective to mix and match different vaccines, including those made by AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech, no results are yet available.

Can't people take a damned aspirin to counter the blood clots? Or would that react badly with the vaccine? WHO
