This is not the final result because a detailed autopsy is in progress, but it means that there was a finding that there was a blood clot in a case where an autopsy was in progress after the vaccination was reported.
A case of a blood clot found after death was known as a patient in a nursing hospital in his 60s who died after vaccination.
Chung explained that the evidence for the association between the AstraZeneca vaccine and blood clots is not clear, and that he will continue to review the results of the European investigation.
Prior to this, the Korean Agency for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the vaccine being vaccinated in Korea is a vaccine produced in Korea, unlike European countries, and that the relationship with thrombosis has not been recognized.
