The WA Health Department has referred the death of a woman in her 60s, who had been vaccinated against COVID-19, to the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
The West Australian understands the woman died at Royal Perth Hospital on Wednesday after she was originally admitted to St John of God Midland Public Hospital.
It’s understood the Perth woman, who received a dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine in the first week of June, did not have a blood clot before she died.
WA Health said it would provide her vaccination history to the TGA, the Federal body which investigates serious adverse events after immunisation.
“WA Health is aware of a death overnight of a woman in a Perth metropolitan hospital,” a statement provided to the ABC said.
“Information related to the person's vaccination history will be provided to the TGA. WA Health is not in a position to comment further at this time.
“Western Australia continues to follow Commonwealth advice on vaccination from AHPPC, ATAGI and the TGA.
“Anyone who has concerns with vaccination should seek advice from their GP based on their medical history.”
Public faith in the AstraZeneca vaccine has been damaged by extremely rare but serious cases of blood clotting in some recipients, including the deaths of two NSW women aged 48 and 52.
The WA Health Department and the TGA were approached for comment.
