Man died from blood clot after wrongly receiving Covid vaccine, review finds
Jack Last, 27, died in hospital in April 2021 after he was given the AstraZeneca vaccine, which he invited to receive a month earlier.
A man died from a blood clot after having an adverse reaction to a Covid-19 jab he was wrongly given, a review has found.
Jack Last, 27, died in hospital in April 2021 after he was given the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine, which he was invited to receive a month earlier.
But a report commissioned by NHS Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board (ICB) found Mr Last was only invited because he had been incorrectly classified as living with his parents on records held by the Suffolk GP Federation.
The report, published on Tuesday, also found there was a missed opportunity to give Mr Last the appropriate X-rays and treatment while he was at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds.
It was known at the time of his jab that the AstraZeneca vaccine, in rare cases, could have side effects on those in his age group, including blood clots in veins and arteries.
The report concluded Mr Last’s death was “a consequence of a combination of system shortcomings, human error, and tragic unfortunate timing”.
