Slovenia has temporarily suspended use of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) Covid-19 vaccine after a 20-year-old woman died of a brain hemorrhage and blood clots just days after getting the jab.
“The health ministry has called on the Public Health Institute to temporarily suspend vaccinations with the Janssen vaccine until all details related to this case are cleared up,” Health Minister Janez Poklukar told a news conference in Ljubljana.
Experts advising the government recommended the suspension after learning that “there could be an undesired link between the death and the vaccination,” said Bojana Beovic, who heads the expert group.
Media reported the woman had been hospitalised on Monday in severe condition, only days after receiving a Johnson & Johnson jab.
