Austria is reported to have suspended the AstraZeneca Covid19 vaccine doses following the death of a patient it was administered to.
The news was monitored in Reuters UK this afternoon. Considering the international reputation of the news house, reactions have trailed the revelation.
Expectedly, many people have ditched plans of being administered with the vaccine.
A doctor, however, tried to give reasons why the death may have occurred but many people are not convinced.
There are also reports that the batch in which the fatal dose was contained has been isolated for further investigations.
Reactions:
Veronique Heyes@Jeanne7759· Replying to @Reuters40 Millions vaccinated in the UK, no death due to it. Scaremongering will not help.
Mr. Bubbles @kristhorgu·Replying to @Reuters“Currently there is no evidence of a causal relationship with the vaccination,” BASG said. Instead of sensationalizing headlines why don’t you try to tone it down and have a more truthful headline??
Alexandrina@AlexandrinaPH·Replying to @ReutersUKBASG said blood clotting was not among the known side effects of the vaccine. It was pursuing its investigation vigorously to completely rule out any possible link.
call sign – Romeo Delta@the_aviatar· Which one did Buhari and Osinbajo take?
SAHEED@xaheed121·Replying to @ReutersUKMe self register yesterday, make i run go unregister now now.
walt33@walt33· They suspended one batch, not the vaccine in general. Seems quite sensible, if the vaccination was the reason, a bad batch is the most likely explanation.
Maggie@maggie_views· Replying to @ReutersI read an article that there were also 2 deaths in South Korea after taking this vaccine which is now under investigation and now another incident, this is troubling.
Tomas Utaras@TomUntilDawn· Replying to @ReutersIt’s funny how after vaccination death occurs but health officials rush in saying this not due to vaccine. How many deaths is enough before government comes up with their usual “mistakes were made” statement and “lessons need to be learned”.
