A new, rapid nationwide study aiming to understand the vascular complications around blood clots after coronavirus vaccination is now underway.
New research has now begun following reports of a very rare condition involving blood clots and low platelet levels after COVID-19 vaccinations. The research is led by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Data Science Centre – a partnership between UKRI-funded Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) and the BHF.
The rapid study will access healthcare records of all people in England. Firstly to identify who’s had a disease involving blood clots in the arteries or veins, and who’s been diagnosed with low platelet levels.
The study will then compare the risk of developing one of these conditions among people who have had a COVID-19 vaccine versus those who have not had a vaccine.
