Euskirchen (dpa) - In the Euskirchen district, women who are younger than 55 years will not be vaccinated with the active ingredient of Astrazeneca on Tuesday.
That said a district spokesman.
After a 47-year-old died after a vaccination and a 28-year-old fell ill afterwards, the district decided on its own on Monday that women in this age group would no longer be vaccinated with Astrazeneca.
"Everything else goes on normally," said the district spokesman.
A 47-year-old woman suffered sinus vein thrombosis a few days after the vaccination and died.
A 28-year-old woman suffered from such a thrombosis after the vaccination.
According to the district, she is “in a stable condition and is cared for in a special clinic”.
The district confirmed that the 28-year-old lives in Bonn, but works in the district and was vaccinated there.
The State Ministry of Health stated that the vaccination was suspended for the group of people in the district that it was “a medical decision that was made on site as a precautionary measure”.
All data on possible side effects of vaccines came together at the Paul Ehrlich Institute and the Robert Koch Institute.
According to information from the ministry, the Standing Vaccination Commission is currently advising «whether, based on the reports of the past 10 days, a new adjustment of the vaccination recommendation is necessary».
