Australia's Acting Chief Medical Officer Michael Kidd has confirmed authorities are investigating a "probable" case of a rare clotting disorder in an Australian man who received the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Key points:

It is not clear whether the clots are linked to the man receiving the vaccine
The Therapeutic Goods Administration says there is no proven link between the AstraZeneca jab and blood clots
The majority of Australians will receive a dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is being manufactured in Melbourne

Professor Kidd said the matter was being taken "very seriously" and was being investigated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

The TGA's vaccine safety investigation group will meet tomorrow and will seek to determine whether the disorder is linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The blood clots were recorded in a
44-year-old man who is now being treated in
Melbourne's Box Hill Hospital.

The man received the AstraZeneca vaccine on or around March 22 and was admitted to hospital with serious thrombosis and a low platelet count.

"He had low platelets, but he had clots in his liver, in his spleen and in his gut in general," Coronacast host Dr Norman Swan told ABC News.

"So, he fits the description of vaccine-induced pro-thrombotic thrombocytopenia. He fits the case description."

Professor Kidd said medical officials were taking the case very seriously.

"This case is currently being investigated by the TGA and a meeting will be held tomorrow morning … which will examine this report and determine whether it could be linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine," he said.

The Acting Chief Medical Officer said investigators had not yet confirmed a "causal link" with the vaccine.

CLOT FEARS Another 25 cases of blood clots reported in UK after AstraZeneca vaccine –

THIRTY cases of blood clots after having the AstraZeneca vaccine have now been reported in UK - six times the number previously known.

But officials stressed it is still safe and there was no need to suspend jabs like in some European countries.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) revealed the figures last night.

It said 25 new cases are in addition to the five reported earlier this month.

Of those, 22 are the rare CVST kind of clot that caused concern in Europe and eight were other thrombosis events.

That is out of 18.1million doses administered in the UK - making it extremely rare at around one in 600,000.

No clots were reported in those given the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

far less than covids fatality rate.

Many people get blood clots -
it happens every day but the question is -
is this vaccine also causing it?

I would think they are linked.
One effect of covid is blood clots, a vaccine is a 'mild case' of the real thing. That could be the link.
I am guessing here but you asked a sensible direct question.
