A patient died from ‘rare complications’ following a dose of the coronavirus vaccine, an inquest has been told.
Dawn Williams died in hospital 16 days after being jabbed with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.
An inquest heard the 52-year-old, of Lochmaben Close, Crewe, was administered the jab on March 4, after which she began experiencing muscle aches, headaches and nausea, StokeonTrentLive reported.
Ms Williams, who had fibromyalgia, had been suffering from aching joints for the last four years. She had a brain injury following a fall down her stairs in 2001.
Following the coronavirus vaccination, her headaches worsened and she was admitted to Leighton Hospital in Crewe on March 18, where CT scans showed she had a haemorrhage.
She was transferred to Royal Stoke University Hospital where she underwent emergency surgery. But her health deteriorated and she was soon put into palliative care before she passed away.
Speaking at her inquest, Ms Williams’ partner Neil Woolley said: “I’m concerned about the effect the Covid-19 vaccine had on her.”
Pathologist Dr Louise Edwards said: “She had a severe headache and was admitted to the A&E at Leighton Hospital. A CT scan had shown a large bleed on the brain. She was sedated.
“A repeat scan showed progression of the bleed and she was transferred to the Royal Stoke. She had also developed a blood clot. She went for surgery, but continued to deteriorate. She died at the critical care unit.
“Venous infarction thrombosis is a very rare effect following vaccination with the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.”
She added: “She was transferred to the Royal Stoke and underwent emergency craniectomy. She was taken to critical care. She had a platelet count of 24.
“The CT scan showed a haemorrhage. She was moved to palliative care.
“It was noted she developed four out of the five criteria for vaccine-induced thrombosis,which is a very rare effect.
“The conclusion is that the death was down to the rare complications of the Oxford AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine.”
