Family history vs AZ vaccine

Now the govt have said that under 30s shouldn't have the AZ vaccine because of the blood clot issues.
I am 40, so will presumably still be offered it.

No one seems to be mentioning people with a family history of blood clots. 3 of my 4 grandparents died following a stroke. One of those had multiple strokes over the 5 years before he died.
When I was pregnant I was told to take aspirin daily because I was at higher risk of clots given the family history.
I was told 2 years ago I could no longer have the combined contraceptive pill because of increased clot risk.
Now I'm wondering if that history could mean a higher risk from the AZ jab.
Yes, I know the risk is incredibly small, before anyone points that out.

I did see the advice was contact your GP if there's a family history of blood clots.
