The 54-year-old woman, Francine Boyer of Saint-Rémi, received the shot on April 9 with her husband. The PHAC said it is continuing to “gather additional information on this case” and said analysts are monitoring the “risk of rare blood clots” following immunization with the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The agency said blood clots associated with coronavirus vaccines are “serious and very rare,” stating the odds are roughly 1 in 100,000.
Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé says the province has vaccinated more than 400,000 people with the AstraZeneca vaccine. Quebec Premier François Legault said the vaccine rollout is a “calculated risk” and gave his condolences to the 54-year-old.
