Australia records first death from blood clots likely linked to AstraZeneca Covid vaccine

NSW woman, 48, died this week after receiving vaccine on 8 April, federal health authorities say

Australia's drugs regulator has determined the death of a 48-year-old diabetic woman who developed blood clots after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine was likely to be linked to the jab.

Following a meeting of Australia's Vaccine Safety Investigation Group on Friday, the Therapeutic Goods Administration said experts had concluded the case of the New South Wales woman, who died this week, was consistent with causal association to immunisation".
