It comes after 18-year-old student Ellie Peacock, who suffered clots after receiving AstraZeneca's jab in Australia, yesterday urged recipients to be aware and monitor any potential side effects. In a new pre-print, the team says the problem is with the adenovirus vector, a common cold virus used to get the body to induce an immune response Yesterday 18-year-old nursing student Ellie Peacock, who suffered blood clots after receiving the AstraZeneca jab, issued a warning to other Australians getting the vaccine, urging them to monitor for side effects Lauren Briggs, from Connah's Quay, North Wales, is lucky to be alive after suffering a 'horrendous headache' within days of getting her jab Ellie Peacock shared photos of her hospital stay over TikTok, urging others to monitor for side effects after receiving the Covid-19 vaccin Scientists believe that in some people, the immune system sees the vaccine as a threat and over-produces antibodies to fight it.
