A physician elucidated the scientific rationale for AstraZeneca's acknowledgement that the Covid vaccine may result in blood clots.

The massive pharmaceutical company acknowledged that rare side effects like blood clots and low platelet counts can result from its commonly used vaccination, Covishield.

A class action lawsuit filed in the UK claimed that the vaccine led to deaths and severe injuries and sought damages up to £100m for about 50 victims.

Doctor Nighat Arif explained more about the science behind the study when she appeared on This Morning on Tuesday (30 April).

She also reassured people that side effects are “very, very rare”.
