“After days of in-depth analysis of lab results, clinical reports, autopsy reports and other information from the clinical trials, we still cannot rule out definitively a link between these cases and the vaccine”, says Cooke.

"We're also launching additional investigations to understand more about these rare cases, and we're conducting targeted observational studies”, says Cooke.

"We're very much aware that some member states have paused vaccinations, waiting for EMA's outcome of a review”, says Cooke. “But given that 1000s of people in the EU die every day. … it really was crucial for EMA to review rapidly and thoroughly all the available evidence."

“PRAC has concluded that there was no increase in the overall risk of blood clots”, says Straus. “Moreover, because the vaccine is effective in preventing #COVID19 disease, which in itself, of course, is a cause of blood clots, it likely reduces the risk of thrombotic events."

“The evidence we have is, at the moment, not sufficient to conclude with certainty whether these adverse events are indeed caused by the vaccine or not”, says Straus . "So PRAC will continue to gather more information on these conditions, including additional studies…"

“PRAC has recommended to add a warning to the SMPC and the patient leaflets and the description of these cases, so that this information should be provided to healthcare professionals and to the public”, says Straus.
