People under 30 are a low risk category. And the risk they are exposed to with AZ is tiny [less than one in a million]. But by all means give them options. I wanted to be able to choose AZ myself, but I wasn't given a choice!
But please do give the vaccine to people over 30 [even to the French], because we want to get rid of covid, and looking at the decline in UK deaths from 1,800 per day in mid-January, to a 7-day average of 30 per day, it's a no-brainer to deliver the shots.
Here's the BBC.
"The regulator said this was not proof the jab had caused the clots.
But it said the link was getting firmer.
The review by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) found:
The 79 cases and 19 deaths occurred after 20 million doses were administered - giving a risk of about four in one million of developing a blood clot
Nearly two-thirds of the cases of rare clots were seen in women
The people who died were aged between 18 and 79, with three of them aged under 30
All the recorded cases occurred after the first dose, although the lower number of second doses meant it was not possible to draw any conclusions from this."
