Disclaimer time: I'm not a lawyer, nor a health professional, nor anyone that should be altering what is ultimately your decision. Please read the Australian Government's pamphlet on the subject matter for a more authoritative source. This page compares your chance of death between developing fatal blood clots from the AZ vaccine and death chance if you were to have a COVID case. This does not calculate your risk of catching a COVID case, that data is too dynamic to factor in, this site was made in 30 min (can you tell?), I'm not going to polish it and add APIs to the mix... Further, this does not look at hospitalization rates. Very roughly, of AZ jabs, 50% of clot cases end up in hospital (for monitoring), 25% require ICU and 3% lead to death. Keep in mind that the AZ death data is Australian data, and due to the small prelimiary results, this death rate isn't necessarily statistically significant. AU AZ clot tables and above stats can be found here. Again, roughly, 12.5% of AU COVID cases require hospitalization, 4.2% end up in ICU source. Death rates used in the calculation on this page are taken from international figures from this paper. Note, that as of 29/7/21, the Australian Government recommends that any adult in Greater Sydney seek any vaccine. This is recommended due to the high rates of cases such that the benefits outweight the risks of AZ. Otherwise, for adults under 60 not in Greater Sydney, Phizer is preferred. Finally, this page was inspired by this article.
