For even more context, the population average for blood clots in the UK is roughly 700 per million people per year, or 500 per 10 million per month That means that this is about one twentieth of the total clots we'd expect to happen purely from chance alonehttps://twitter.com/doctor_oxford/status/1371774062993752066 …

Thanks...that's useful to know. Do you think it's a safety signal worth investigating though (could still be batch related, even if doesn't show up in UK?). I get that it's too weak to shut a vaccination drive over.

Every safety signal should be investigated, that's definitely important and the whole reason we have monitoring systems

In most EU countries, AZ vaccine was given to young people only. Those were the ones that got the specific form of thrombosis. In the UK, it was given mostly to older people. My view: continue vaccinations for 70+ year-olds, suspend vaccinations for younger people to find cause.
