The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has concluded there is a possible link between the Oxford vaccine and "extremely rare and unlikely to occur" blood clots.
Dr June Raine, chief executive of the MHRA, says 79 cases of blood clots have been reported, and that the side-effect poses a risk to one out of 250,000 people.
"Very rare effects" are only detected when a jab is used on a wide-range of people, that is why these side-effects are now cropping up.
