Caprice says contraception clot fears aren't taken seriously as she gets jab

Caprice Bourret got her first coronavirus vaccine.

Speaking out, she gave her reasons for why people should get the AstraZeneca coronavirus jab after she was squeezed in "last minute" following cancellations amid unproven fears about the vaccine.

The model, 49, highlighted women are at risk of developing blood clots through their contraception.

Denmark, France and Germany are just a few of the European countries which suspended the roll-out of the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine over concerns of alleged side effects that haven't been proven.

The European Medicines Agency said on Wednesday there is “no indication” the vaccine is causing blood clots.

Caprice, however, was "thrilled" to have had the chance to get her Covid vaccine as she cast doubt over the fears.

In her lengthy message, she wrote: "I did it!!! Better in my arm than in the bin.

"There have been cancellations I suppose because of the controversy surrounding blood clots and AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine so I was able to get in at last minute.

"If 12 countries think 30 ppl getting blood clots after the vaccine out of 17 million ppl already vaccinated is 2 dangerous then why r 1 in 14,000 allowed to develop blood clots through their contraception.

"Furthermore, 1,000 ppl naturally suffer from blood clots every year.. so wouldn’t u expect out of 17 mil vaccinated already... 17,000 would develop blood clots????

"With this kind of statistic ppl developing recent blood clots that have taken vaccine are much lower than would be expected in general population.

"If you are dubious research first lots of stats available from scientists and other authoritative sources and no proof to substantiate there claims that the vaccine has links to blood clots to begin with.

"I AM THRILLED I DID IT!!!!"

Caprice shared her excitement at the natural progression towards a "normal" life again.
