Vaccine maker AstraZeneca admitted for the first time that its anti-coronavirus vaccine, sold under brands like Covishield, may have side effects. The company has admitted in the document submitted to the UK High Court that there is a risk of thrombosis thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) after taking the vaccine.
In TTS, clots form in the blood vessels and the platelet count decreases. Although this happens in rare cases. Medical expert Dr. Rajiv Jayadevan said that the anti-corona vaccine has saved people's lives, but in rare cases, clots develop in the brain or other blood vessels.
The National Indian Medical Association (IMA) Corona Task Force in Kerala is co-chaired by Jayadevan. It is alleged that AstraZeneca's vaccine is to blame for fatalities. In this case, the company is being sued in Britain. The global producer of anti-coronavirus vaccines under the Covishield and Vaxjavria brands is Oxford-AstraZeneca.
Serum Institute produces Covishield in India. The Serum Institute of India has not responded to reports of blood vessel clotting. Jamie Scott filed a lawsuit against the company in April 2021 after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine and experiencing severe side effects.
The AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine is no longer given in Britain due to safety concerns. It is noteworthy that last year the World Health Organization (WHO) had said in its report that the effect of TTS was seen in those people who were given anti-coronavirus vaccine.
