The death of a person last week in Placer County who had recently received a COVID-19 vaccination is under investigation by multiple agencies.
Officials from the Placer County public health department and the Placer County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the person, who died Thursday, had tested positive for the coronavirus in late December and had been given a vaccine several hours before dying.
Placer County Public Health did not administer the vaccine and did not clarify in the statement whether the person had received the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech shot.
“Any reports surrounding the cause of death are premature, pending the outcome of the investigation,” the sheriff’s office said on its Facebook page. “Our thoughts are with the family of the deceased.”
