A member asked:
Is risk of blood clotting due to astrazeneca covid 19 vaccine higher for younger people? in my area only 40+ are allowed to take this vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We do not know. The people who developed clots are mainly women, and yes, commonly in the 40s in age. However, older people have been already vaccinated with other types, such as Pfizer and Moderna, and that may be the reason why old people did not get the clot. Risk of developing fatal clots is much higher if you get the COVID disease than getting the vaccine. So. I would recommend you get it
