Venous Thromboembolism following Two Doses of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines in the US Population, 2020–2022

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is one of the most effective strategies used to fight against COVID-19. Recently, venous thromboembolism (VTE) events after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination have been reported in various research. Such a concern may hamper the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination campaign. Based on the US...

description The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is one of the most effective strategies used to fight against COVID-19. Recently, venous thromboembolism (VTE) events after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination have been reported in various research. Such a concern may hamper the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination campaign. Based on the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data, this modified self-controlled case series study investigated the association of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination with VTE events among US adults. We found the VTE incidence rate in the recommended dose interval does not change significantly after receiving COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. This conclusion still holds if the analysis is stratified by age and gender. The VTE onset may not be significantly associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.
