Britain’s regulator missed early blood clot cases linked to AstraZeneca vaccine
Posted at 11 am UK time
By the time cases of blood clotting in patients who had received the AstraZeneca vaccine had begun to emerge on the Continent (in March), Britain had already administered 11 million doses of the vaccine (the first having been given in January). No such occurrences had been reported publically in Britain, but not for a lack of cases, according to the findings of a new investigation. Clotting cases were recorded in the UK’s Yellow Card database (a website for reporting adverse drug reactions) in January but were missed at first by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) – possibly due to the algorithms it used to interrogate UK data.
