Az Vaccine

[Bazile]

Just reading Emmie's thread

Would it be good idea for people worried about blood clots , to take aspirin both before and after the Jab - for say , a week either side ?

[Prudie]

Maybe because aspirin, which i grew up with and still is my painkiller of choice as well being a bit of wonderdrug IMO has fallen massively from grace and is frowned on it seems to me by everyone in the medical world. I take no notice.

LOL...that's my girl ^^^^

Ok , so this particular blood thinner aspirin , is the problem ?

I'll pass the info on

The same question was asked on a TV programme a few days ago. General consensus seems to be an outright no, Aspirin should not be used as a blood thinner prior to the AZ vax.

No! The risk of blood clots is negligible.
