“One person was vaccinated with AstraZeneca and the other with Pfizer. Person vaccinated with AstraZeneca [preparatu], “died”, said A. Irs to the Delfi portal.

A second case of thrombosis was reported in an 82-year-old patient after vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech. A thrombus formed in a blood vessel in the eye and caused vision problems. Human life is not in danger. He also used medications whose known side effects could include blood clots, the counselor said.

According to Irso, despite these cases, Estonia should continue to use AstraZeneca. The same opinion was expressed by the Minister of Health and Labor, Tanel Kiik, on Wednesday.

“There is currently no scientific evidence that one vaccine is more dangerous than another,” Irs said.

In terms of morbidity from COVID-19, Estonia is currently one of the leaders in Europe. The incidence in this country is now many times higher than in Latvia, Lithuania and Finland.

In Estonia, 1,784 new cases of COVID-19 coronavirus infection were detected in 8,606 tests the day before, and six previously infected people died.

A total of 145,665 people (10,961% of the population) have already been vaccinated against COVID-19 with at least one dose of the vaccine in Estonia, and 53,729 people (4,043% of the population) have received both doses of the vaccine. The largest Estonian vaccine is the AstraZeneca vaccine.
