COVID-19 Vaccines and Blood Clot Risks

Vaccines are safe, effective and the best way to protect you and those around you from serious illnesses like COVID-19.

The best vaccine is the one that is available to you right now.

Blood clots as a complication to the AstraZeneca vaccine are extremely rare.  If they do happen, these blood clots are treatable and the medical community knows what to look for now.  People with a history of blood clots are not at higher risk for blood clots from AstraZeneca (it’s a different kind of clot).
