Ontario Health Officials confirms first death of man who received AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine.
Associate Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Barbara Yaffe said the man in his 40s received his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine “toward the end of April” and died a “few weeks later.”
Earlier this month, Ontario announced that it would no longer offer first doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine due to an increase in reports of rare, but potentially fatal, blood clots.
