Should you take anticoagulants after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine?
After information that the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine can cause a rare side effect of blood clot formation, many people want to use anticoagulants.

According to Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Quang Thai, Head of the Northern Expanded Immunization Office, Central Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, the recorded thrombosis problem basically only occurs within more than 20 days after vaccination and mostly after the nose. first vaccine. Up to now, most people have been vaccinated with AstraZeneca vaccine 2-3 years ago, only a very small number have experienced thrombosis and have been treated satisfactorily. Therefore, arbitrarily doing blood coagulation tests is not necessary.
In healthy people, the rate of blood clots after vaccination is very low. This risk may be higher in people with a history of blood clotting disorders. These cases are carefully examined and monitored by doctors before, during and after the injection process to ensure safety.
According to Dr. Nguyen Huy Hoang, Vietnam-Russia Hyperbaric Oxygen Center, Ministry of National Defense, the most recent AstraZeneca vaccine injection was 2 years ago. If there were no blood clot events then, there should be no signs of any clots now. D-dimer testing at present has no meaning to evaluate the effects of thrombosis and thrombocytopenia in vaccinated people. Rushing to test for D-dimer or other blood clotting indicators is both a waste of time and a waste of money.
The D-dimer test is a biochemical test used to determine risk factors for blood clots. In other words, this result only shows that you are at high risk of having a blood clot and does not mean an accurate diagnosis. The D-dimer test is also unable to show the location of the clot.
Only a very low rate of thrombosis occurs. In the rare case of blood clot formation, two situations may occur:
– Formation of large blood clots, causing immediate events, such as limb embolism, pulmonary embolism, stroke, myocardial infarction…
– A small blood clot forms, it will gradually dissolve, usually after 24 hours, up to 4 weeks, and there will be nothing left. When the blood clot decomposes, it will produce D-dimer (a product of the clot destruction process) in the blood.
AstraZeneca vaccine has been researched and developed by Oxford University in England since April 2020 with clinical trials in the UK, Brazil, and South Africa on healthy volunteers and then expanded on medical staff who have risk of exposure to CoV for people over 18 years old. AstraZeneca vaccine uses viral vectors (also known as intermediate viruses) to create immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Unlike Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, these are molecules that, thanks to nanotechnology, are capable of directly carries mRNA encoding the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. When entering the body, it stimulates the production of spike protein, thereby creating an immune response. However, mRNA is easily denatured, so it needs to be stored at minus -20 degrees Celsius while AstraZeneca’s vaccine can be stored at 2 – 8 degrees Celsius.
