The Clot Scare with Covishield - No Need to Panic

Prof Santanu K Tripathi
MD DM (Clinical Pharmacology)
06.05.2024

The fact that the Covishield vaccine can, in very rare cases, cause thrombosis thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) was known since the very inception of the vaccine's approval under emergency use authorization (EUA) in India and it's use for mass vaccination to mitigate COVID-19 complications.

A range of symptoms are associated with TTS, including breathlessness, pain in the chest or limbs, pinhead-size red spots or bruising of the skin in an area beyond the injection site, headaches, numbness in body parts, etc. TTS could mean a restriction in the flow of blood due to clotting.

The incidence of TTS among people having received this vaccine in UK and European countries has been very rare - 4 to 10 per million. However, among people of South and Southeast Asian descent (including Indians) the incidence seems even lower (almost 70% less).

The risk of TTS is highest after the first dose, then it gradually declines with subsequent doses.

Only in 2023, WHO incorporated vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) into its classification of TTS.

In India, a total of 170 crore doses of Covishield vaccine were used which means 85 crores of people or a little less received two doses of the vaccine. And only 36 cases of Covishield related TTS have been reported so far in the country, including just 18 deaths. Despite a general trend of underreporting of any drug or vaccine associated adverse experiences and low treatment seeking behaviour in India, the incidence of TTS related to Covishield is very very low indeed.

To conclude, no drugs or vaccines are absolutely safe. Side effects are always there with them. Given the positive impact of this vaccine on millions of recipients, the associated risk is minimal, and well within acceptable limits. The worries and anxiety around this (TTS with Covishield) is unwarranted & no need to panic.

सूर्य अपना अक्षांश बदलता है, इस बदलाव से मौसम और सुहाना होने लगता है, समझने की बात ये है कि सूर्य दिशा नही बदलता,

हमारे जीवन मे भी उतर चढ़ाव होते रहते है, कितने भी कठिनाई हो, विचार अच्छे रखे, बदलना है तो अपने स्व्भविक विचार बदले, लेकिन दिशा सीधी रखे, मतलब जो भी कार्य करते है उसमें नीयत व्यवहार साफ रखें, आपका भी जीवन खुस मय होयेगा,

थोड़ी सी भी कठिनाई हुई तो इंसान भटक जाता है,औऱ गलत तरीके अख्तयार करने को अग्रसरित होने लगता है, कोई भी गलत रास्ता आपको सही मंजिल पर नही पहुचायेगा, रास्ता कठिन हो तब भी उसी पर चलिए ईश्वर आप के साथ ही है,आपको कामयाबी की मंजिल जरूर मिलेगी।

*काट ना सके कभी कोई पतंग आपकी*,
*टूटे ना कभी डोर विश्वास की,*
*छू लो आप ज़िन्दगी की सारी कामयाबी*,
*जैसे पतंग छूती है ऊँचाइयाँ आसमान की।*

*मकर सक्रांति की हार्दिक शुभ कामनायें।*

🙏🌹 *जय श्री कृष्ण*🌹🙏
*🌹आपका दिन मंगलमय हो 🌹*
