In Austria, a nurse died after her corona vaccination, and a colleague is in hospital.
However, a connection has not been confirmed.
Update, March 10th:
The excitement about
corona vaccinations
with the vaccine from manufacturer
AstraZeneca
does not end: On Tuesday,
another case became known
in
Austria
in which a nurse suffered a pulmonary embolism shortly after the vaccination.
The person concerned is now better again, but the authorities are alarmed, reports
echo24.de
*.
The manufacturer of the vaccine
AstraZeneca
in England, the Oxford Vaccine Group, has meanwhile also issued a statement on the death in
Austria
.
It says that it is very important that the health authorities check every incident very carefully - however, there has not yet been a single case in England like the one in Zwettl and Styria, while millions of doses have already been inoculated there.
AstraZeneca: Another nurse after vaccination with pulmonary embolism
A few days ago it became known that the health authorities in
Austria
had confiscated
the remainder of the “Charge ABV 5300” of the
AstraZeneca vaccination
.
The two nurses in Zwettl had been vaccinated with this.
As
kurier.at
reports, we now also know: 37,000 doses of it had already been inoculated before the recall, only 6,000 could still be retrieved.
No other cases with serious side effects are known to date.
By the way: In the case of the Styrian nurse, there is not much evidence yet - only this much: The 51-year-old is said not to have been vaccinated with a dose of the ABV 5300 batch.
Astrazeneca: connection with death in Zwettl?
First
report
, March 8th:
Shocking news from Austria: According to
vienna.at
, a death in the Zwettl state hospital is currently causing a stir - a 49-year-old nurse died after being vaccinated with the Astrazeneca vaccine, as
reported by echo24.de
*.
There have been headlines in connection with corona vaccines again and again in recent weeks.
Is the Biontech vaccine really as effective as hoped?
Has the government failed to order enough vaccine?
And the vaccine from Astrazeneca in particular was in focus from the start, as people vaccinated with this preparation showed more side effects than those vaccinated who received the vaccines from Biontech or Moderna.
Again, everything revolves around the British-Swedish vaccine manufacturer and the side effects.
There is currently no evidence of a connection with this vaccination, but due to the coincidence of the time, the Vienna General Hospital and MedUni Vienna are doing everything to fully clarify the cause of death

Another nurse, who is also employed at the Zwettl Clinic, is in hospital with a pulmonary embolism after being vaccinated with the Astrazeneca active ingredient from the same batch, which is why the entire series of around 6,000 vaccine doses was withdrawn from circulation as a precaution.
This was reported by the “Federal Office for Safety in Health Care Austria” on Sunday afternoon.
There were no further serious side effect reports for the affected batch "ABV5300", but the issue of the remaining vaccine doses from the production line would have been stopped as a precaution, explained the BASG.
Astrazeneca: death after corona vaccination - no connection with vaccine proven
Research is currently underway into why the 49-year-old nurse at the Zwettl Clinic died so shortly after being vaccinated with the Astrazeneca vaccine - the Vienna General Hospital and MedUni Vienna want to do everything possible to fully clarify the cause of death.
However, the investigators assume that the investigations will take some time to complete.

According to BASG, the 35-year-old nurse with pulmonary embolism is now on the mend.
Based on the clinical data, however, there is no apparent connection between the disease and the vaccination, the experts explain, because thrombotic events are not one of the typical side effects of the Astrazeneca vaccine.
Nevertheless, investigations are also being carried out in this direction.
Just a few days ago, Astrazeneca drew attention to itself with a positive report: The Standing Vaccination Commission has now also recommended the vaccine for people over 65 *.
At the end of January, Stiko initially only recommended the vaccine for people between the ages of 18 and 64.
