the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) were investigating the thrombosis conditions linked to the same batch as well as all other reports of thrombosis and related blood clotting conditions reported post-vaccination.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The information available so far indicates that the number of thromboembolic events in vaccinated people is no higher than that seen in the general population,\u2019 it said.<\/p>\n<p>The EMA said as of Tuesday, there had been 22 reports of such conditions among the three million people to receive the AstraZeneca jab in the European Economic Area.<\/p>\n<p>It said further information would be released as the investigation progresses.<\/p>\n<p>EU regulators on January 30 approved the AstraZeneca vaccine, saying it was effective and safe to use.<\/p>\n<p>Adverse reactions seen in trials were short-lived for the most part and blood clotting issues were not reported.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation comes after a humiliating U-turn by EU leaders who backed the vaccine after claiming it was ineffective at the height of their row with the vaccine-maker and Britain in January.<\/p>\n<p>During the ongoing row, the EU has furiously blamed Britain for its woeful vaccine rollout, blocked doses from leaving to Australia and begged the USA to give them its surplus doses.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Italy stood at the European vanguard as it embargoed 250,000 doses which were destined for Sydney.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1277505871\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\"
