No , not at all. Covid vaccination is not an indication to start blood thinners.

No blood thinner is needed after vaccination. The incidence of such complication is only 0.62 per million doses administered, as stated by the recent government of India circulation. The risk of any harm by blood thinner medication is greater than that. So don't worry.
