- Thailand has confirmed its first case of a new, more dangerous strain of Mpox, marking the second confirmed case outside Africa. The patient, who traveled from an unnamed African country, was found to carry the clade 1b strain, as reported by the Thai Department of Disease Control.
- Travelers arriving from 42 'risk countries' are required to register and undergo testing upon arrival in Thailand. If any symptoms resembling chickenpox are observed, further testing is mandated. The head of the Thai Department of Disease Control noted that Mpox is less likely to spread rapidly compared to Covid due to the close contact necessary for transmission.
- Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, is a highly infectious disease primarily found in West and Central Africa. The new clade 1b strain has raised global concerns due to its increased infectivity and lethality. A case of this variant was confirmed in Sweden last week, indicating a potential spread beyond the African continent.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global health emergency in response to the new strain. According to the WHO, the spread of this deadlier variant can be managed and should not be compared to Covid. Over the past week, around 1,400 Mpox infections have been reported in Africa, raising the total to nearly 19,000 cases this year.

May 8, 2024 · Reading time: ~20 sec.

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: dailyecho.co.uk
- On Tuesday, May 7, AstraZeneca announced the termination of the global use of their COVID-19 vaccine. This decision was primarily due to an abundance of available updated vaccines since the onset of the pandemic. The company's request to withdraw the vaccine was submitted on March 5 and became effective on May 7.
- While the vaccine was determined to be safe and effective overall, there was a risk of a rare but severe side effect known as thrombosis with thrombocytopenia or TTS. This rare syndrome occurred in approximately two to three individuals per 100,000 vaccinated with the Vaxzevria vaccine.
- The company had previously admitted in court documents that the vaccine could lead to side effects such as blood clots and low blood platelet counts. Several countries have already halted the distribution of the vaccine, and it has been unavailable in Australia since March 2023.

- AstraZeneca confirms a rare risk of blood clots (TTS) with the Covishield vaccine. An expert explains the symptoms of TTS, its causes, and who might be at risk. The doctor emphasizes that the benefits outweigh the risks and urges monitoring for early detection and treatment.
- According to a report by The Telegraph, AstraZeneca has admitted for the first time in court documents that the Covishield vaccine may lead to a rare side effect. This could result in a significant reversal that may lead to a legal compensation in millions. The company is facing a class action lawsuit over allegations that its vaccine can cause a health issue known as Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS).
- Dr. Jagadish J. Hiremath, a public health expert, explains that TTS is a rare condition characterized by the formation of blood clots in blood vessels and a low number of platelets. The exact mechanism of TTS post-Covishield vaccination is not fully understood, but it is speculated that the vaccine could trigger an immune response leading to platelet activation and clot formation.
- TTS is an extremely rare condition where certain factors could make individuals more susceptible, such as age, gender (more common in younger women), and possibly genetic factors. Healthcare providers are encouraged to monitor TTS symptoms, especially in high-risk individuals, for prompt management and treatment.
