Two women in their 30s and a man in his 40s suffered ischaemic strokes after having the vaccine. Previous reports of rare blood clots from the jab have specifically involved cerebral venous thrombosis – a rare form of stroke caused by the blockage of specific veins. So far 9million Britons have been given two doses of AstraZeneca's jab, meaning the extremely rare clots are occurring in around one in 600,000 people. The current guidance says younger people who had their first dose before the jab was restricted should come forward for their second. It also comes after it was revealed that a 39-year-old British woman died in a Cypriot hospital after a blood clotting incident after receiving the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.
