A woman in her 40s believed to have the second case of blood clots linked to AstraZeneca in Australia developed the symptoms about two weeks after receiving her vaccination, according to the WA Health Minister.
Key points:
She was flown to a Darwin hospital after falling ill
The case is similar to others in Europe who developed a rare clotting disorder
The woman received her vaccination in mid-March as part of the 1A/1B cohort and reported to the emergency department of a WA regional hospital about a fortnight later, Roger Cook said.
She was then flown to Royal Darwin Hospital.
