J&J recognizes thrombosis as a side effect The European Medicines Agency has recommended that thrombosis be listed as a side effect of a vaccine from Johnson & Johnson called Janssen. This was reported by the official press service of the agency and the Reuters agency. In particular, it reported that the PRAC had concluded that there was a link between Johnson & Johnson's COVID vaccine and cases of venous thromboembolism, i.e. the formation of blood clots in deep veins. It is also recommended to add immune thrombocytopenia to the side effects - a condition when, due to a failure, the immune system begins to fight its own platelets. The latter problem is common not only for Johnson & Johnson, but also for the AstraZeneca vaccine. The reasons for these side effects remain unknown.
