AstraZeneca claims it happens in a rare case and there is no need to panic
London (Britain) – Covishield vaccine used against coronavirus can cause adverse side effects on the human body, admitted AstraZeneca, a company manufacturing this vaccine, in a court in Britain. The company admitted in the Court that the Covishield vaccine can cause a rare side effect called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). It can lead to blood clotting, heart attack, brain stroke, fall in platelets, etc. but it can happen in a rare case; therefore, people need not panic.

It may be noted that ‘AstraZeneca-Oxford University (Britain) and Serum Institute (Pune) jointly developed the Covishield vaccine. Later, it was administered to people in India and other countries.
What is the issue ?
Jamie Scott has filed a case against AstraZeneca Company in Britain. He has claimed that after administering this vaccine, he suffered a brain injury after a blood clot, besides undergoing different types of physical ailments.
A few others have also filed similar complaints against the vaccine for its adverse side effects and claimed damages for the harm caused to them. The company, however, refused to pay damages, despite admitting in Court the vaccine’s side effects and claiming that a few people might have some problems since the vaccine has been administered on a large scale.
This vaccine is not used in Britain for safety reasons, since the matter is sub judice. The company may have to pay huge amounts by way of compensation in case the Court upholds the petitioner’s claim.
