The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today released a joint statement on reports that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine could cause cerebral venous sinus thrombosis – a rare blood clotting condition that can be fatal. According to their statement, there were a total of six cases, which occurred among women between 18 and 48 years of age, with symptoms occurring 6 to 13 days after vaccination. “I know there are people who got the vaccine, who are probably very worried,” they addressed a media conference later that day. “For people who had the vaccine more than a month ago, the risk for them is currently very low.” But, “for people who have recently received the vaccine within the last few weeks, they should pay attention to looking for symptoms.” Read on to learn about the symptoms you should look out for when receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine – and to ensure your health and the health of others, do not miss it Sign that your disease is actually coronavirus.
The Michigan Comprehensive Stroke Center explains that the most common symptom of sinus vein thrombosis is severe headache, “often the worst headache a patient has ever had”, they point out. “It can start suddenly, develop in a few hours or develop in a few days.”
According to the FDA, abdominal pain is one of the most important symptoms to watch out for.
Michigan Comprehensive Stroke Center explains that another symptom may be experienced in the leg or arm, which they describe as ‘numbness or weakness’ of one or both limbs.
Shortness of breath or breathing problems can be a sign that you have a blood clot.
The blood clots “usually occurred at least one week after vaccination and no longer than three weeks after vaccination, with a median of about nine days after vaccination,” says Dr. Anne Schuchat, Chief Deputy Director, CDC. “We know that for the first few days after vaccination, these vaccines have flu-like symptoms that can include headaches. So I think for the internist out there and the primary care providers who care for patients when they have flu-like symptoms and headaches for the first few days after my vaccination. see, “it’s good, but” it’s more important if someone in an emergency shows up with a very serious headache or with blood clots that need to be vaccinated a history from there and then appropriate management should be put in place. ‘severe headache ends up, there is shortness of breath, pain in the legs, pain in the abdomen, it is so bad that they want to seek medical help, and if there are low platelets at that time, you need to consider this entity.’
“You should contact your healthcare provider and seek medical treatment,” if you experience the above symptoms. However, they point out that “these symptoms differ from a mild flu-like symptoms, fever, etc., which many people experience within a few days of receiving the vaccine.” They also insist that it is important to be vaccinated with the other two vaccines – Pfizer and Moderna. “We do not see these clotting events with a low platelet count at the other two vaccines. People who have the vaccines with the other two vaccines should continue with their appointments,” they said.
