Abstract

Vaccine-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia (VITT) may follow immunisation with the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2. Autoantibodies to platelet factor 4 (PF4) may mediate VITT through antibody-dependent platelet activation, though the underlying etiology is uncertain. Anti-PF4 antibodies are also seen in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, though most cases of VITT do not have prior heparin exposure. More than 20 million people in the United Kingdom (UK) have received the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine.
