first there were the concerns over the astra—zeneca vaccine — now it's the jab produced by the pharmaceutical companyjohnson and johnson that is being linked with rare blood clots. health experts in america have called for a pause in its roll out and the company itself is delaying the distribution of the vaccine in the eu. we can speak now to dr amesh adalja. of thejohns hopkins center for health security in baltimore. this for health security in baltimore. pauses at the rigt do? this pauses at the right thing to do? this pause i don't know if it's the right thing to do what were talking about is a very rare side evenif talking about is a very rare side even if it is linked to thejohnson &johnson vaccine we are talking about six cases in over 6.8 doses of the vaccine given. so this is extremely rare, this is something very similar to the astrazeneca problem that happened with these blood clots. i think what we are dealing with here is a lot of vaccine hesitancy in this country. i'm worried about the repercussions. this is going to be a very hard vaccine to restart because of this pause. i thi

and, robin, june asking, is it just the ashes zeneca vaccine l is itjust the ashes zeneca vaccine or has the pfizer vaccine also had these blood clots reported —— astrazeneca vaccine? these blood clots reported -- astrazeneca vaccine?- these blood clots reported -- astrazeneca vaccine? there's been a coule of astrazeneca vaccine? there's been a couple of reports _ astrazeneca vaccine? there's been a couple of reports of _ astrazeneca vaccine? there's been a couple of reports of blood _ astrazeneca vaccine? there's been a couple of reports of blood clots - couple of reports of blood clots associated with the pfizer vaccine. it really is below the background level you would expect, so so far, there does not seem to be the same association, although we still need to be clear that this association with the astrazeneca vaccine looks probable but it is still not proved beyond all doubt. the other thing, with the pfizer vaccine, it's been used very widely in the us, and we are not seeing an increase reporting rate of blood clots with the very wide use of the pfizer vaccine in the us. ï¿

giving reassurances about the vaccine following yesterday's announcement, of a link between the astra—zeneca jab and rare blood clots. our medical editor — fergus walsh — looks at the risks and benefits of the vaccine. business as usual in north—east london. headlines about blood clots didn't put people off getting the astrazeneca vaccine. the thought of catching covid is more risky than having a blood clot. any medicine has a side effect so i wasn't unduly concerned. 79 rare blood clots have been identified out of 20 million doses of the astrazeneca vaccine. the link isn't proven but in future the under 30s will be offered a different vaccine. for nearly all age groups, the benefits of the oxford—astrazeneca vaccine far outweigh any potential harms. for people in their 60s, with the current low level of virus circulation, for every 100,000 vaccinated, 14 icu admissions would be prevented. at the same time, there would be a 0.2 or one in 500,000 risk of a rare serious clot. for people in their 20s, it's a finejudgment. there, less than one icu admission would be prevented but there w
