Those vaccinated with AstraZeneca should continue with a second dose of the same vaccine, if no adverse reactions occurred after the first dose, Prof. Mariana Murdzheva, rector of the Medical University in the city of Plovdiv and a member of the National Vaccine Task Force, has told Radio Plovdiv. It is known that thrombosis is well known clinical reaction. For example, it occurs with the Ebola vaccine.
