Declarations
:
: The Drug Safety Research Unit (DSRU) receives donations and grants from pharmaceutical companies; however, the companies have no control over the conduct or publication of its studies. The DSRU has received grants to conduct unconditional studies on the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine and for conducting Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) studies for Pfizer, Moderna, and Janssen COVID-19 vaccines. The DSRU has conducted benefit–risk studies on products for COVID-19, including remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, and convalescent plasma. Professor Shakir is the principal investigator for an active surveillance study for the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, but this assessment is unrelated to this study. Professor Shakir has been a member of Data Safety Monitoring Boards for Ipsen, Biogen, and Diurnal. None of these companies have any involvement with COVID-19 vaccines. Professor Shakir was also invited by AstraZeneca to advise on the events of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia with the COVID-19 vaccine and to be a member of an advisory committee on a safety study of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine in Europe. Samantha Lane has no conflicts of interest with regard to this study.
