Woman in Crete admitted to hospital after taking AstraZeneca jab

Experts consider the symptoms to be inked to the vaccine

Newsroom May 18 12:11

A mother of three is being treated at the Venizelio hospital in Heraklion Crete after she was vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine.

The woman received the jab 15 days ago and according to information from Creta24, showed symptoms of thrombocytopenia.

It is an autoimmune complication and concerns the disorder of blood coagulation.

According to Creta24, the experts who are examining the incident, consider that there is a “high suspicion” that these are symptoms directly related to the vaccine.

They also report that the patient’s medical record does not show any link to her health other than the vaccine.

It is the second incident linked to the same vaccine after a 35-year-old man in Crete was forced to undergo surgery twice after suffering blood clots.
