“The decision to stop vaccinations with AstraZeneca is due to a fatality – a 57-year old woman with multiple underlying diseases. We await the conclusions from the forensic report, but there definitely is no thrombus formation,” said Health Minister Prof. Kostadin Angelov in Plovdiv.

Speaking in front of the St. George hospital in the city, Minister Angelov stressed that there is no direct cause-effect link between the vaccination and the death of the patient. Her diagnosis was acute cardiovascular insufficiency, BGNES reports.

Prof. Angelov stated further that he was not worried about the people who have already been vaccinated with AstraZeneca and that suspending the use of the vaccine is just a precaution.  For the period in which there is a problem with AstraZeneca the electronic vaccination registration system will be taken down, Kostadin Angelov said.
