Three dead with blood clots after Corona Vaccine

Sri Lanka has found six cases of blood clots among recipients of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, three of whom have died, Health Minister Pavithra Waniarachchi told parliament on Wednesday.

 

Nearly a million people have been given the first dose of the Indian-made vaccine in the country. No announcement of any halt to the vaccination programme has been made State Minister Sudarshani Fernandopulle said that all vaccines have after effects and undue publicity may shatter public confidence in the vaccine.
