No. of Paragraph 16

In a big reveal related to Covid-19 vaccination, British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology company AstraZeneca has for the first time acknowledged that Covishield, its Covid vaccine, may lead to a rare side effect called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). This condition may cause blood clots coupled with low platelet counts.

The admission was made via a legal document submitted to the UK High Court, according to reports. It coincides with the pharmaceutical giant being sued over allegations of severe injuries and fatalities linked to its vaccine, which was co-developed with the University of Oxford and sold worldwide under various names, including Covishield and Vaxzevria.

Covishield, developed by AstraZeneca, was produced in India by Pune-based Serum Institute of India. It was one of the most widely administered Covid vaccines in the country. However, media reports stated that numerous families from around the world have initiated legal actions, claiming that side effects from the AstraZeneca vaccine have caused severe harm. The legal proceedings began last year after Jamie Scott, a father of two suffered a permanent brain injury from TTS after receiving the vaccine in April 2021.

Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) is a rare but serious condition characterised by the combination of blood clots (thrombosis) and a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia). It often involves clots in unusual locations, such as the brain (cerebral venous sinus thrombosis) or abdomen, which can lead to severe complications or death. Cases of TTS were observed in some people after getting vaccinated against Covid-19, reported the World Health Organisation.
