Key findings:

* In this study of over 500,000 COVID-19 patients, CVT occurred in 39 in a million patients.

* In over 480,000 people receiving a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), CVT occurred in 4 in a million.

* CVT has been reported to occur in about 5 in a million people after first dose of the AZ-Oxford COVID-19 vaccine.

* Compared to the mRNA vaccines, the risk of a CVT from COVID-19 is about 10 times greater.

* Compared to the AZ-Oxford vaccine, the risk of a CVT from COVID-19 is about 8 times greater.

As I understood Danish health authorities they assessed it to 1 in 40.000, which is a bit more.
