      Clinical people I'd love your opinions on this - the paper seems to imply that the serious blood clots post-Astrazeneca vaccines could be due to the vaccines being injected intravenously rather than intramuscularly https://twitter.com/andrewwhiteau/status/1412232838599135234 …

      If this is true, obviously HUGE implications for safety - the AZ vaccine may be much safer with minimal improvements in injection technique thoughts @jeremyfaust @JulieLeask @jamesheathers?

          I imagine there's also bleeding disorders that would cause even a proper intramuscular jab to "leak" into the bloodstream un-macrophaged? The issues were statistically extremely rare, so it could be a few factors intersecting.

          So, I'm not a clinician but from my understanding it's basically a technique issue - you can accidentally hit a vein when giving the injection. This might be relatively rare, which would explain why it isn't a very common side-effect

          Lots of other things to establish epidemiologically, like background rate of accidental IVI in deltoid. Haven't read the paper so maybe they address that.

          Haven’t read this but it it’s IV that’s the problem, why only/mainly young adult female? Or is that the risk group iffffff there’s accidental IV admin?

          Certainly in Uk the Nurses were used in clinics to assess while the volunteers etc had rigorous injection technique training. I’d be shocked if there was any truth in this.
