Having just recovered from a very large blood clot on my lung that was straining my heart, and with further clots in my leg, I’ve gone from very pro vaccine, to being wary of having the booster. I’m still on blood thinners so perhaps they won’t give it to me anyway? |

Thank you. I made a miraculous recovery once they had correctly diagnosed the problem. Just need to rebuild my fitness. Trying to get through to a doctor just now is very difficult. |

Definitely a chat with your doc over this, they are the best people to advise on this kind of situation. I can completely understand your concerns if you had such a reaction to the initial vaccine doses. |

That's one for your doctor.
My GP has an online message service - write a message and they call you back within a few days. It's quicker than the old system ever was, including if it's followed up with an in person visit. |

If you have a prescription I'd take it with you to the vaccination centre. Our doctor seems to have missing info (medication allergies) on medical notes so now I'm very wary.
Also I have to plan 30 minutes free time to be able to sit on hold and wait to get through to the surgery.
If you have a follow up appointment with the hospital for the clots I think I'd be asking there.

depends. How long from your vaccine did the blood clots appear. And I think if they would have told you if you couldn't have it

If you truly had blood clots related to a vaccine they will be on your medical records and no doctor is going to give you a other dose of the same vaccine. Seems silly to ask for advice on a swingers forum for something so potentially fatal to be honest

Oh. Sorry for being silly. The hospital state the clots were ‘unprovoked’. Never had them before in my life though. I know of two other guys local to me that also had clots after the AZ vaccine. |

I've checked thr little green arrow and seems there was about 6 months between the vaccine and the clots.

One of my relatives had blood clots for the first time in his life, too. The doctors gave an explanation but given this vaccine business it was probably that. Doctors are deceptive.
He died in 2011... |

"Yes contact your medical centre. They do ask if you're on blood thinners when you go for your jabs, so it must be relevant. Glad you're getting better."
Mainly because people on blood thinners can get a haematoma under the skin where the needle goes in and might have more profuse bleeding at the site of injection. If on Warfarin, we need to know the latest INR reading and that it's within normal parameters. Being on blood thinners is not a barrier to having a vaccine, otherwise we'd not have vaccinated most of the over 75/80s!
To the OP, you can try and get advice beforehand or go to a walk in booster clinic and ask the medical professionals there for advice. If you're under a hospital specialist, try calling or emailing their secretary. |

They ask because the injection site may bleed after the injection, both internal and external |

Correct."
It's not in the known timeline related to the vaccine, and you've had it diagnosed. Things pop up for other reasons.
Boosters are also mRNA, which are not associated with clotting. |
