In Lithuania the death of a person vaccinated against COVID-19 has been registered

The Lithuanian State Medicines Control Agency (IARC) has received information that one death has been reported after vaccination against coronavirus, but this death is not associated with vaccines.

The health center of the person who vaccinates has reported a suspected adverse reaction to the vaccine. According to IWT chief Gytis Andriulionis, a 77-year-old man died in the Pasvalys district on Thursday morning during the vaccination. He was vaccinated with AstraZeneca. This was the first vaccination. The man has had concomitant cardiovascular disease and death is not associated with vaccination, as mentioned. “The Drug Control Agency has no data to suggest otherwise. In other words, vaccination is not related to death. But since death occurred within minutes of vaccination, we see the need to explain this publicly. That information is recorded by the Drug Control Service, as well as all reports of adverse events, “said G. Andriulionis. At the same time, the head of IWT added:” The event itself, the death, occurred yesterday morning And our service received notification of this event this afternoon, 2 hours ago. The medical institution was contacted and additional information was collected. “
