Deaths trigger AEFI inquiry; job, land promised for kin of A.P. health worker
Days after being vaccinated for COVID-19, Bokka Vijayalakshmi, a 42-year-old Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) from Undavalli in Andhra Pradesh, died at the Government General Hospital (GGH) on Sunday. In Telangana, a 45-year-old female healthcare worker died, four days after receiving a vaccine.
Vijayalakshmi, along with other doctors and staff members, got the vaccine from the first vial at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Tadepalli. Doctors said the woman might have died due to Thrombogenic Ischemic Demyelination, a brain stroke.
Ischemic Demyelination is a condition listed among those falling under Adverse Events Following Immunisation (AEFI), but an investigation was being carried out by the State AEFI Committee.
