However, the conclusion is;



So there's a low risk of clotting but it's higher than background and worth the risk considering the risks of COVID infections

Yet from the same report.

the vaccine is not associated with an increase in the overall risk of blood clots (thromboembolic events) in those who receive it...

...The PRAC involved experts in blood disorders in its review, and worked closely with other health authorities including the UK’s MHRA which has experience with administration of this vaccine to around 11 million people. Overall the number of thromboembolic events reported after vaccination, both in studies before licensing and in reports after rollout of vaccination campaigns (469 reports, 191 of them from the EEA), was lower than that expected in the general population.
