A man has died in Pittsburgh after receiving a second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, and was determined to possibly have had a rare and severe blood clot condition called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia when he presented to the hospital, according to a report.
The case report of the 65-year-old man is detailed in a letter to the academic journal Annals of Internal Medicine published on June 29. The journal announced on Twitter that the research led by Dr. Swathi Sangli “is believed to be the first case of #thrombosis with thrombocytopenia after a messenger RNA #COVID19 vaccine.”
