Quote:The man was vaccinated on or around March 22 and was recently admitted to Box Hill Hospital in Melbourne with serious thrombosis and a low platelet count.

It is not clear whether the man's clots are related to the vaccine dose he received. About 30,000 Australians develop thrombosis every year.

"He had low platelets, but he had clots in his liver, in his spleen and in his gut in general," Coronacast host Dr Norman Swan told ABC News.

"So, he fits the description of vaccine-induced pro-thrombotic thrombocytopenia. He fits the case description."

Australian Medical Association vice-president Chris Moy told the ABC European authorities had been investigating whether there was a link between the AstraZeneca vaccine and blood clots.

"What they found was there was definitely no overall risk of clotting throughout the community that was given the vaccine," he said.

"And that the risk was so low, the benefits of the vaccine would far outweigh any potential risk.

But they were still looking at this little group where you have this very rare occurrence.

The rate was somewhere in the order of one in maybe several hundred thousand to one in a million or so [actually between 1 in 125,000 and 1 in 1,000,000 according to Science Table COVID-19 Advisory for Ontario].

Because of the low numbers, there's a lot of work to try to work out whether this is a real association or purely chance.

"I know right throughout the world everyone is looking at this very carefully."
