Woman dies after developing blood clots after getting Johnson & Johnson vaccine, CDC investigating

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is investigating the death of an Oregon woman who developed blood clots after she received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The vaccine was put on pause after rare blood clots were developed by six recipients.

The woman, who is in her 50s, developed low platelets and blood clots under two weeks after getting the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The @CDCgov is investigating the death of an Oregon woman, in her 50s, this week following immunization with Johnson & Johnson's #COVID19 vaccine.

Until the investigation is complete, it cannot be concluded whether her death is related to the vaccine. https://t.co/OUGkBHxbnD
