If you are offered it, take it.
In the meantime this is just going to drive overall hesitancy to people taking the vaccine.

It seems that all 6 were women under the age of 50. Blood clots are also a known side effect of birth control pills, and many women are also prescribed them to help regulate their periods. I'm wondering whether the 6 were also taking contraceptive pills?
Interesting to note also that most of the clotting cases with the AstraZeneca were also in women under 50, although far from exclusively.
