Dear Editor Thank you for this commentary on the implications of the Pottegård et al. study, reporting an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events including cerebral venous thrombosis following administration of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine [1]. While I agree that a vital next step is to ‘quantify the comparative risk associated with other vaccines” to contextualise these findings, I do not believe this will go far enough to alleviate public concern.
