There is a link between the AstraZeneca AZN, 0.04% AZN, -0.43% COVID-19 vaccine and rare blood clots, according to a senior official at the European Medicines Agency.
“In my opinion, we can say it now, it is clear there is a link with the vaccine. But we still do not know what causes this reaction,” Marco Cavaleri, the EMA head of vaccines, told Italy’s Il Messaggero newspaper in an interview published on Tuesday.
He added that “in the next few hours, we will say that there is a connection, but we still have to understand how this happens.”
