I had mine yesterday - AZN vaccine - not overly worried at present. There was a similar death in Florida over the Moderna or Pfizer that couldn't be proved to be related. Here is an excerpt from the Express:
“It is currently not possible to conclude whether there is a connection. We act early, it needs to be thoroughly investigated.”
The EMA is also investigating the possibility of a defect in a batch of one million doses shipped to 17 EU countries.
The regulator said: “Although a quality defect is considered unlikely at this stage, the batch quality is being investigated.”
Doses in the batch were sent to Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands.
In a statement, the EMA added: “The information available so far indicates that the number of thromboembolic events in vaccinated people is no higher than that seen in the general population.
“As of March 9, 2021, 22 cases of thromboembolic events had been reported among the 3 million people vaccinated with COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in the European Economic Area.”
