The European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European Union’s drug regulator, on Friday found a possible link between Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine and rare cases of blood clotting in deep veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee meeting,<\/a> the agency said it found a possible link between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the J&J vaccine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“VTE is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in a leg, arm or groin, and may travel to the lungs causing a blockage of the blood supply, with possible life-threatening consequences,” the agency wrote in its meeting highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is recommending that the condition be listed as a rare side effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency also recommends that immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) be listed as a side effect of the J&J vaccine and AstraZeneca’s vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ITP is a bleeding disorder in which “the immune system mistakenly targets blood cells called platelets that are needed for normal blood clotting,” the agency wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While J&J said the conditions are rare, it will update the product information and continue to work closely with EMA and other government agencies, according to Reuters.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We strongly support raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of rare events to ensure they can be quickly identified and effectively treated,” the company said in a July statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vaccines from both AstraZeneca<\/a> and Johnson & Johnson have previously been associated with rare incidents of blood clotting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
