A few days ago, a woman in Canada also died after receiving AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine. The victim was over 50 years old, lived in Alberta, Canada, died of a blood clotting disorder after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine.

This is the second death recorded in Alberta after officials administered more than 253,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to people, said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, head of health for the Canadian province of Alberta.

Two weeks ago, a man in his 60s developed symptoms of blood clots after receiving AstraZeneca's Covid-19 vaccine and is recovering.

According to statistics, the global risk of developing blood clots after vaccination is only 1 in 250,000 injections. Meanwhile, people aged 50-59 if infected with Covid-19 face a 350 times higher risk of death than the risk of blood clots due to AstraZeneca vaccination.

According to data from real-time update site WorldoMeters, Canada has recorded more than 1.2 million Covid-19 infections and more than 24,000 deaths.

Many countries around the world now have different policies with the AstraZeneca vaccine. Some countries allow vaccination in adults of all ages, some countries only allow vaccination at certain ages, especially Denmark announced to stop using this vaccine completely due to concerns about blood clotting complications.

Dr. Hinshaw said that although getting the Covid-19 vaccine carries a risk of complications, the risk of dying or suffering serious consequences from Covid-19 is still much higher. Therefore, the doctor still advises people to get vaccinated against epidemics.
