According to relatives of the woman, who was in her 70s, she was completely healthy and alert when she was vaccinated with Astra Zeneca's vaccine.
A few days later, she experienced the unusual side effects that have been the focus of the EU Medicines Agency's review of the vaccine.
"Has a high protective effect"
For people who are 65 years or older, the Swedish Public Health Agency considers that the vaccine can still be recommended.
- Astra Zeneca's vaccine has a high protective effect and greatly reduces the risk of serious illness and death, especially among the elderly and weak.
The reported cases of serious side effects are rare and in most cases affect people under the age of 60, said state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell in a press release last week.
According to FHM's press officer, the new suspected case does not change that position.
Should pay attention to symptoms
At Norra Älvsborgs Länssjukhus, Näl, in Trollhättan, they chose to make a report to the Medical Products Agency because the side effects led to a brain haemorrhage and that she had just been vaccinated.
The Medical Products Agency urges those who have received Astra Zeneca's vaccine to be aware of new symptoms in the first two weeks after vaccination.
This can be, for example, headaches, nausea, signs of bleeding or new skin changes.
