Chief Medical Officer urges people not to jump to conclusions after woman dies following AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccination

Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly has urged people not to “jump to conclusions” about the death of a 48-year-old woman who developed blood clots after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Last night federal health officials revealed they were investigating the death of the diabetic woman in New South Wales.

Professor Kelly said the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) had convened a special expert group to look at the information they had on the woman’s death earlier this week.

Preliminary tests showed no conclusive link to the vaccine.
