An Oregon woman has died following immunization with Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, the Oregon Health Authority said Thursday.
The woman, who was in her 50s, received a dose of the vaccine before its use was paused nationwide on April 13.
Until an investigation is complete, it can’t be determined whether her death is related to the vaccine, OHA said.
The woman developed a rare but serious blood clot within two weeks after vaccination. The blood clot was seen in combination with very low platelets.
