Key result
Intramuscular vaccination in patients on therapeutic anticoagulation is associated with a limited risk of bleeding complications, supporting the administration of COVID-19 vaccines with appropriate local precautions.
Why the study?
Does intramuscular vaccination increase the risk of bleeding complications in adults with therapeutic anticoagulation?
Does intramuscular vaccination increase the risk of bleeding complications in adults with therapeutic anticoagulation?
Intramuscular vaccination, including COVID-19 vaccines, appears safe in patients on therapeutic anticoagulation when precautions such as using a fine needle and applying firm pressure are followed.

Perrin et al. (2021) conducted a review in Therapeutic anticoagulation requiring vaccination. Intramuscular vaccination was evaluated. Intramuscular vaccination in patients on therapeutic anticoagulation is associated with a limited risk of bleeding complications, supporting the administration of COVID-19 vaccines with appropriate local precautions.
