Astra Xeneca vaccine - are the (very) rare side effects semi-immediate?

Just that really - ie if you’re going to get the blood clots / strokes etc, will you get them within a couple of weeks or can they be several months later?

From what I’ve read and heard anecdotally the first 4 days are high risk then up to 15-20 days moderate and up to 30 days lower risk. However there are no hard and fast guidelines so I suppose could happen even after that? I’m guessing if it’s say two months after I have the jab I get a clot I would be made to acknowledge it’s nothing to do with the injection.

The current period has been established as 4-42 days.

Although 95% occur up to 30 days.

This is what an expert hematologist said on Twitter:

most present day 5-30 with a few VTE presenting up to 42 days (we presume formed sub clinically earlier)

I think it would be quite hard to prove a relation to the vaccine after that period.

I haven’t heard about the different severity that the previous poster refers to, but it would be great if it’s true. It’s so stressful to be on edge for 42 days.

I think after four weeks you’re in the clear

Thank you.

I had the most blinding headache a couple of weeks after 2nd dose of AV - happily now gone / but had wondered about stroke & blood clots (given family history in this regard).

But then maybe AZ rare fatal side effects are unrelated to family history of strokes and blood clots
