At the same time, Dr. Moll believes contracting COVID-19 is very likely to happen if you don’t get vaccinated, and the effects are also more harmful, and even fatal in some cases.
According to Purvi Parikh, MD, an immunologist with Allergy & Asthma Network, the risk of developing blood clots after Johnson & Johnson vaccination is much lower than the risk of blood clots after contracting COVID-19. Also, obesity, smoking, birth control, and cancer can put you at very high risk for blood clots.
It’s important that those vaccinated with Johnson & Johnson know what symptoms they should look out for, including a severe headache that just doesn’t go away, abdominal pain, persisting leg pain, and shortness of breath. The symptoms tend to appear within two to three weeks post-vaccination, so make sure to contact your healthcare provider if you experience weird side effects.
But according to Dr. Moll, the risk period for blood clotting should be over after three weeks.
