Similarly to Austria, Estonia has stopped using one batch of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine while a death that may potentially be related to the vaccine is investigated in Austria.
Austrian authorities announced on Sunday (March 7) that they have stopped using one batch of the AstraZeneca vaccine as a precautionary measure until the cases have been fully investigated.
In Austria, it has been reported that a 49-year-old woman died of a blood clot, while another woman, aged 35, who is now recovering, had a pulmonary embolism, news agency Reuters wrote on Monday (March 8). Currently there is no proof of a connection between the cases and the vaccine, the Austrian Health Board said.
