This Virginia Department of Health video explains the importance of getting COVID-19 vaccinations.
The family of a woman who died shortly after receiving a coronavirus vaccine had a private autopsy performed on her last week because the state did not do one while investigating her death, her daughter said.
Drene Keyes, a 58-year-old Gloucester resident who died following a Pfizer shot, was buried Friday. Lisa Jones, Keyesâ daughter, said they are waiting for the results from their own investigation, an expense they hope will shed light on her death and bring them closure. It was not certain whether the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner would incorporate the findings into the stateâs cause of death analysis, she said.
Out of more than 76 million doses of coronavirus vaccines administered throughout the country in the first 2 1/2 months, the federal surveillance system received 1,381 reports of death among people who had received a shot. But CDC and Food and Drug Administration physicians have so far found no evidence in their reviews that a vaccination contributed to a death.

GLOUCESTER, Va. - It has been 18 days since Lisa Jones unexpectedly lost her mother, Drene Keyes, and she still has no answers as to how or why she died. We had a memorial service for her last week, Jones told News 3. At this time, they still have not determined a cause of death, said Jones.
Emergency room doctors at VCU Tappahannock Hospital, to where Keyes was rushed on January 30, told Jones her mother had Flash Pulmonary Edema, caused by anaphylaxis, but it is still unclear as to if that was her cause of death.
