No change to vaccine advice after young nurse develops clots – Brisbane Times
Health authorities are monitoring the case of an 18-year-old trainee nurse who developed blood clots weeks after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Ms Peacock confirmed on her social media that she was being treated for TTS, the abbreviation for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, a condition that causes blood clots to form.
People who have been given the AstraZeneca vaccine are now monitored for TTS after a number of people who received the vaccine developed blood clots days or even weeks later.
Authorities maintain the number of blood clots associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine is no greater than the background incidence of the condition.Credit:Stuart…
