    Insanity. People are more likely to develop a blood clot from a contraceptive pill than the AZ vaccine.

    60+ is far too restrictive.

    Given Fergal Bowers story was published at lunchtime and there's been no confirmation since I wouldn't be surprised if its a different story at this press conference. Clearly there has been a lot of talking since 1pm. Whatever issues we can see with this decision, those involved in the vaccine rollout will have seen many fold more. Hopefully sense has prevailed and its over 55s or 50s.

    It warrants a press conference regardless of whether there is inconsistency or not.

    Sure. But if the second meeting, which Fergal Bowers said was ongoing in an article published at ca. 2pm, was just rubber stamping an earlier decision, the press conference would surely have been at 4pm or some such, not 7.30pm. I'm just speculating that the second meeting turned out to be much longer and, therefore, may have involved a rethink....

    They are very different types of clot. One in four CVST cases from the AZ vaccine result in death. Mortality rates for VTEs from the pill are nowhere near that.

    There’s ramifications from the decision that will need to be dealt with.

    On the restrictions. A quick Google search has:
    Germany above 60
    Italy above 60
    France above 55
    Canada above 55
    Australia above 50
    Greece above 30
    UK above 30

    Obviously I’m not putting in upper limits as I’m too lazy to find them, but those are the current lower limits.
