NSW woman, 34, becomes Australia's seventh AstraZeneca-related death

The Therapeutic Goods Administration says the woman died on Wednesday from a confirmed case of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome.

A 34-year-old woman in New South Wales has died from a rare blood clotting condition, after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.


The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) said the woman died on Wednesday from a confirmed case of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS).

She had received her first dose of the AstraZeneca jab.

"The TGA extends its sincerest condolences to her family and loved ones," the TGA report said.

"We are in close communication with NSW Health, who are undertaking further investigation of this case."

The medical regulator has stressed the protective benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 far outweigh the potential risks.


About 6.8 million doses of AstraZeneca have now been administered across the country, with seven deaths linked to the vaccine.

Six of those deaths were linked to TTS, while the other was a case of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which is when your immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets.

Two weeks ago, the nation's expert vaccine advisory group said all adults in Greater Sydney should "strongly consider" getting vaccinated with any available shot, including AstraZeneca.



The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) said the new advice was being issued because of the increasing risk of COVID-19 in the city, and the severity of the Delta strain.

While the Pfizer vaccine remains the preferred shot for Australians aged under 60 outside of Sydney, the medical regulator has stressed the protective benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 far outweigh the potential risks.

New South Wales recorded its highest number of daily COVID cases since the pandemic began on Thursday, with 262 new cases.

It was also the deadliest day of the current Delta outbreak, with five deaths.

Four of the five people who died were not vaccinated, while one person had received one dose of AstraZeneca.

On Wednesday, 27-year-old Sydney man Aude Alaskar became the youngest person to die from COVID-19 in NSW.

There are currently 350 Australians in hospital with COVID-19, 57 of whom are in intensive care.

The majority of them are in NSW.

Blood clotting disorder appears to particularly affect younger women
The medical regulator said in Australia, severe cases of TTS appeared to be more common in women, especially those in younger age groups.

Nearly half of the women with TTS needed intensive care treatment, and five of the six TTS deaths occurred in women.

One? The VAERS report shows thousands of deaths.

Out of well over 100 million jabs with the vaccine.

Out of well over 100 million jabs with the vaccine.

In Australia, only 6.8 million jabs for 3.4 million people. This does not meet industrial standard for safety.

Better look at the figures for the rest of the world....We've already passed 50 million AZ jabs.

This is 7th death in Australia out of 3.4 million AstraZeneca. This does not meet industrial safety standard. AstraZeneca is too dangerous to receive approval in China and Russia.

Many vaccines have been withdrawn in the past when the death toll was 20 or so. More people have died from these vaccines then all vaccines in history put together.

That's nothing. More people died from aspirin each, 3,000 yearly in actual fact. Also did any of those people have underlying issues?

True, but not for an industrial grade product. If 1 person dies of faulty brake, the automaker has to recall millions of cars. Toyota had to do this in 2010. We are talking about dozens of people died from AstraZeneca already. Heck, even Canada banned AstraZeneca after only very limited use.

Aspirin has been around for decades and its process perfect. Yet look at the deaths.

True, but compared to other vaccines, AstraZeneca is dangerous. No one dies from Chinese and Russian vaccines for example. So China and Russia banned AstraZeneca. Also, this being why AstraZeneca has so few sales in the world outside Britain which has state subsidies.

No it's not, Pfizer has a worse record.
The Indonesian case showed that the Chinese vaccine didn't have a high enough protection effciecny leading to the deaths of the Indonesian doctors.

Again there can be other factors aside the vaccine which you refuse to accept for AZ.
AZ is one of the most popular vaccines in the world today, and no we didn't give it state subsidies. It's research was financed but is produced at production cost.

Despite criticisms over supply difficulties and safety concerns, the AstraZeneca vaccine is today being administered in around 111 countries and territories.

Apples and oranges. Indonesia lacks sufficient medical facility to effectively compare Chinese vaccine with Pfizer. Turkey has much better medical facility than Indonesia. Turkey death rate is comparable to Britain death rate. There is no reason to suggest AstraZeneca is more effective than Sinopharm / Sinovac.

Excuses made for the vaccine you like, you're not objective at all.
