There is a chance that adenovirus used to make vaccines can bind to a specific clotting factor in the blood which then in rare cases may be attacked by antibodies created by the immune system to fight the infection. https://www.biospace.com/article/researchers-find-possible-cause-of-rare-clotting-side-effect-in-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine/ https://www.biospace.com/article/researchers-find-possible-c...
