British pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca has admitted that its Covid-19 vaccine Covishield may cause a rare side effect called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). The vaccine manufacturer has said in court documents that Covishield, in rare cases, can cause a condition that can lead to blood clots and low platelet counts. This increases the risk of heart attack. This acceptance has come after a lawsuit was filed against the company, in which serious harm and deaths related to the vaccine have been alleged.
Covishield Side Effects: According to court documents, Covishield, developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University and manufactured by the Serum Institute of India, may lead to this condition in rare cases. This vaccine was administered on a large scale across India during the Covid-19 pandemic.
What is thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome?
Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) is a rare condition in which blood clots form in abnormal places in the body and the number of platelets in the blood is reduced. Platelets are small cells that help blood clot, so having too few of them can be dangerous. This condition was seen in people who were given adenoviral vector COVID-19 vaccines such as Vaxjavria, Covishield (AstraZeneca) and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. TTS occurs because the body’s immune system responds to the vaccine by making antibodies that attack proteins involved in blood clotting.

Symptoms of TTs
Symptoms of TTS may include severe headache, stomach pain, swelling in the legs, trouble breathing and problems thinking, or seizures. If someone sees these symptoms after getting the vaccine, they should immediately consult a doctor.
Covishield Side Effects: During the Corona pandemic, Covishield, developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University, was produced by the Serum Institute of India and was widely administered to people in the country. AstraZeneca is facing several lawsuits in Britain over claims that its vaccine has caused several deaths and serious injuries. In 51 cases in the UK High Court, victims are demanding damages of up to 100 million pounds. Jamie Scott, the first complainant in the case, had alleged that he was given the vaccine in April 2021, which caused permanent brain injury after blood clotting. He claimed that it made it difficult for him to work… The hospital even told his wife three times that he was going to die.
“It is believed that the AZ vaccine may, in very rare cases, cause TTS. Additionally, TTS may occur in the absence of the AZ vaccine (or any vaccine),” AstraZeneca said. AstraZeneca agreed to the legal defense of Scott’s claim, which could lead to payments to victims and bereaved relatives.
