Fear that the Oxford Astra Zeneca can cause deadly blood clots resulted to multiple nations such as Thailand, Denmark, Norway, and other European countries delaying or suspending their rollout of the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine.
Amid growing fear and uncertainty, the World Health Organization (WHO) stressed that no such correlation has been identified. At the moment, their is a lack of substantial evidence to link an increased risk of blood clot formation to the European vaccine.
Furthermore, when weighing benefits versus risk, they say the benefit outweights any potential risk since the more people who gets the jab, the lesser the transmission of Covid-19. Furthermore, those who developed untoward adverse reaction after receiving the vaccine made up only a tiny protion of the populace.
Meanwhile, countries such as the Philippines and Canada proceed with the inoculation of their citizen despite speculations over the potential development of blood clots associated with the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine.
