41 reports of blood-clots after an AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.
Eight people in Ireland have developed a serious allergic reaction after taking a Pfizer or Moderna Covid vaccine.
The medicines watchdog received a number of reports of the condition, called anaphylaxis.
But the HPRA says only eight are classified as cases - and all patients have recovered.
Dr Denis McCauley, from the Irish Medical Organisation, says these reactions are known side-effects of MRNA vaccines.
We have published our latest safety update providing an overview of the national reporting experience of #COVID19 vaccines.

There have been 41 reports of Irish patients getting blood-clots after an AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.
Less than five were also associated with low platelets, according to the medicines watchdog.
They were all under 40 and got the condition after their first dose - but they've been discharged from hospital.
The AstraZeneca jab is now limited to over-40s here, due to fears of blood clots.
Dr McCauley welcomes the recovery of those who got the more serious condition.
