VIPIT meaning in Medical ?

Answer: What is Vaccine-Induced Prothrombotic Immune Thrombocytopenia mean?

Post-vaccination embolic and thrombotic events, also termed vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT), vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), or thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) are rare types of blood clotting syndromes that were initially observed in a very small number of people who had previously received the Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine (AZD1222) during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was subsequently also described in the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine (Johnson & Johnson) leading to suspension of its use until its safety had been reassessed.

In April 2021, AstraZeneca and the EMA updated their information for healthcare professionals about AZD1222, saying it was "considered plausible" that there was a causal relationship between the vaccination and the occurrence of thrombosis in combination with thrombocytopenia and that, "although such adverse reactions are very rare, they exceeded what would be expected in the general population".
