Valeriu Gheorghita, the coordinator of the vaccination campaign in Romania, spoke about the AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine in the midst of the scandal regarding the safety of its use, stating that it is almost impossible to confirm the recently reported problems.
Valeriu Gheorghita says that the number of people who would have been affected by the problem that led to the suspension of its use in certain countries is impossible to confirm, but even so in certain areas of the globe it was decided that the vaccine would not be safe for now.
"Preventive anticoagulant treatment is not recommended at this time. From the data centralized by the European Medicines Agency, we are talking about 13 cases of cerebral sinus venous thrombosis, which means, out of 20 million people vaccinated in Europe and in the UK, it is almost impossible to make a causal link between vaccine, vaccination and the occurrence of these extremely rare phenomena.
We are talking about extremely rare situations, meaning 3, 4, 5 cases per 1 million vaccinated people. Given that we are in the midst of a pandemic and we know very well that we have a large number of asymptomatic cases and that this Sars-CoV-2 infection evolves with a pro-thrombotic status, it is very difficult to say. said Valeriu Gheorghita at DIGI24."
