This was because the health authority decided that there was more chance of blood clots caused by the AstraZeneca in the under 50’s. In the past week there have been another 12 cases of blood clots linked to this vaccine, bringing the total to 60, and as 7 of these latest cases occurred in people in the 50 – 59 age group now the latest information is that people under 60 should not have the AstraZeneca vaccine, but only the Pfizer one.
Gives us oldies a lot of confidence – not! It makes it seem that it is all guesswork, what is given as being the correct information one week has changed by the following week.

on the question of blood clots i wonder if certain individuals are more likely to have them than others and there is some sort of test or previous medical records that show you are vunerable to them.
