Researchers have been studying a clotting disorder linked to Covid vaccine shots. This can result in the clotting of blood in the vessels because of some abnormalities, known as thrombosis. Dr Manoj Sharma, senior consultant, Internal Medicine, Fortis hospital Vasant Kunj tells indianexpress.com, “While arterial thrombosis is rare, venous thrombosis is more common.”Talking about the clotting disorder, he added, “It is not something peculiar to only Covishield; clotting disorder has been found in the case of Pfizer vaccine also. “For instance, if the clotting occurs in the brain, many times, it can pass off as a minor stroke. However, it can lead to a major stroke also but thrombosis is not always fatal, rather, very rare.”Can thrombosis be prevented?
