Most within two weeks... most?!

[onthetracks]

Recent articles about the clots and AZ vaccine suggest that “most” have happened within two weeks following the vaccine.

So does this mean that some have happened after this period.

I have my first dose 4 weeks ago. I’m prone to headaches.
But at what stage can we brush off any worry of a clot from the vaccine? Weeks, months? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did they show a comparison by age of how many cvst would happen even without the vax?
As i think the risk factors of younger age pregnancy/postpartum and pill for non vax would raise the risk in younger women anyway.
28-36 say is probably most common for pregnancy.

Most clots were between 4 and 16 days post vaccination. None were identified more than 20 days post vaccination. The MHRA recommends anyone showing symptoms that might be a clot between 4 and 20 days post vaccination to get it checked out.

I had my first az jab 30 days ago and am fine(I'm 39!) Have no worries about getting my 2nd.

Did you see the bbc news article by the sister of one of the men who had the blood clot? The headache according to her was severe and debilitating and came with blurred vision. I think if you had a blood clot you would know about it, it doesn't sound like a normal headache at all and certainly different to any usual headache you might get.

I hate it when posters say to anxious people "I'm fine"

I'm 19 days post AZ jab and having an anxiety attack. I have a blood clotting disorder which yesterday the MHRA published advice warning against having the AZ vaccine. True the risks are slim, but they are greater for me and I'm truly terrified about having the next jab or still being at risk from the first.
I called my GP with concerns before I had the vaccine and was told it was nonsense...it doesn't feel like nonsense now.

I am prone to headaches, both normal and migraine. I can tell what sort I have, and they dont last more than a day

There is a whole list of symptoms to watch out for, and headache more than 4 days is one.

You can stop worrying about it when you stop worrying about all the other more likely causes of death.

Do you go in cars? You have a 1 in an 8000 risk of dying in a car accident. Do you work? You have a 1 in a 44000 risk of dying in an accident at work?

If you are not worrying about these things don't worry about the vaccine as the chance of a blood clot is significantly less likely than either of the above.

@Iveforgotten

This has to stop. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Find something worth worrying about

I agree

@Bluntness100

You get you’ve more chance of being mauled To death by a poodle right?

19 people in the UK have been mailed to death by a poodle this year?

As someone who has a condition that 2 days ago the MHRA advised not having the vaccine due to blood clots I think I have a legitimate concern. There is increased risk for some of us.

@Loopylou555

Where did you find this information about 20 days?

I think they said it during the press conference. Mind you, the BBC news website had a good article this morning on signs to look out for, survival rates for this kind of clot and how they would treat it, and medical advice is any symptoms within 1 month of jab. Germany are reporting cases occurred within 4 to 16 days and other countries have different Time scales. But I don't think anyone has reported this occurring more than a month post vaccination, although if your symptoms started at the tail end of that period you might not get to hospital until after one month, but the onset of symptoms seems to be before that.

Could you back this up with some evidence please? I have not identified any cases of a poodle mauling someone to death from an, admittedly fairly brief, google search (although a poodle did kill someone by landing on their head in a fall from a balcony but that isn't a mauling.) It would therefore appear that there is more risk from clots than poodle mauling.

I tried expanding to crossbreeds and found an instance of a labradoodle killing a baby in New York. Still unconvinced there is a greater risk from poodles.

By far the major clot risk is from the clots who are refusing to have the vaccine because of a minuscule risk of clots!

@HolmeH is right, though. Do you take the pill? Do you fly?

I'm not knocking anxiety, but rationally there are far more reasons to worry than to worry about the vaccine, even if you're only going to worry about blood clots. Why are people still filling up endless threads, when again and again it's been pointed out that so many other things which you'll happily so, carry a massively bigger risk of blood clots?

I think the answer in some cases is that some of those people ant vaxxers anyway. Not saying you are; I couldn't know that.

It’s marginal though,,,right...either way. 😀

Funny observation to risk assessment when people belittle a 0.5% chance of a DVT in defence of a vaccine, but then cack their pants over similar odds (or less/much less if younger) falling seriously ill/dying of Covid

Where did you get 0,5% chance of DVT for the vaccine?

Brush off the worry of the blood cot like people do when pregnant or taking contraception.

Media has massively mishandled this information.

0,5% is 5 in a 1000, or 1 in 200.
I really want to know where this risk, for women under 50 even, has been reported in relation to the Astra Zeneca vaccine.

If you have ever taken the pill, you have probably lived with a much higher risk of blood clots than you are currently.

‘Brush off the worry of the blood cot like people do when pregnant or taking contraception.’

Maybe, maybe not. I’ve still got headaches 5 weeks after having AZ. It’s still early days. Who knows what the future holds? You don’t, I don’t & AZ don’t. If there is or isn’t an increased prevalence of brain blood clots etc over the next few months & years, maybe then & only then, we can judge properly.

If you are worrying, you must not have these symptoms, which I'm sure you are already seeking medical help.

Although serious side effects are
very rare, if you experience any of
the following from around 4 days to
4 weeks after vaccination you should
seek medical advice urgently.
• a new, severe headache which is
not helped by usual painkillers or is
getting worse
• a headache which seems worse when
lying down or bending over or
• an unusual headache that may be
accompanied by:
– blurred vision, nausea and vomiting
– diffculty with your speech
– weakness, drowsiness or seizures
• new, unexplained pinprick bruising
or bleeding
• shortness of breath, chest pain, leg
swelling or persistent abdominal pain

It hasn’t. According to a PP, that’s the risk of a DVT after flying.

They said to be mindful of headaches but my road is being dug up and they are using a jackhammer outside my house 8 hours a day
