COPENHAGEN, March 15 (Reuters) - A 60-year old Danish woman
who died of a blood clot after receiving AstraZeneca's COVID-19
vaccine had "highly unusual" symptoms, the Danish Medicines
Agency said late on Sunday.
It said the woman had a low number of blood platelets and
clots in small and large vessels, as well as bleeding.
European vaccination programmes have been upset in the last
two weeks by reports that recipients of the AstraZeneca
inoculation have suffered blood clots.
The European Medicines Agency has said there is no
indication that the events were caused by the vaccination, a
view that was echoed by the World Health Organization on Friday.
AstraZeneca Plc said on Sunday a review of safety
data of people vaccinated with its COVID-19 vaccine has shown no
evidence of an increased risk of blood clots.
