We are aware that there is a very small increase in the incidence of the blood clots associated with the Astra Zeneca vaccine.  The rate of clots is 2-3 /500,000 vaccinations given. NB the oral contraceptive PILL can also cause clots and the rate of this happening is about 1:1000 users /year. The aim of vaccination is to protect us all. Don't forget an infection with the new strains of  COVID-19 are more infectious and more dangerousl than the earlier  strains.

If we all want to return to normal life including opening our borders, seeing relatives from overseas and travelling then we have to be vaccinated

NB you cannot have the COVID-19 Vaccination within 2 weeks of a FLU vaccination
