In another case of thrombosis in Germany, a middle-aged woman has reportedly suffered a blood clot in the brain after receiving an AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

The 47-year-old woman was diagnosed with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after receiving her vaccine in the city of Trier in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, according to local reports on 17th March.

The woman is currently out of life danger and her condition is stable, according to Rhineland-Platinate health minister Sabine Batzing-Lichtenthaler, 46, from the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) who made a statement in the city of Mainz on Wednesday.

The diagnosis was conducted on Sunday and was reported to the ministry on Tuesday evening.

Currently, there has been no official confirmation that the woman’s condition was caused by the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Germany has temporarily suspended AstraZeneca use in correspondence to recommendations by the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) after president Klaus Cichutek confirmed three thrombosis deaths out of seven occurrences.

According to the Ministry of Health, a total of nine cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) have been detected as of today.

Eight complications which occurred after AstraZeneca vaccinations were reported in Germany by Tuesday evening.

Batzing-Lichtenthaler confirmed the Trier case is the ninth so far.

PEI said that the number of thrombosis cases in vaccinated people is significantly higher than unvaccinated people. The institute also said those most affected were women.

The connection between the AstraZeneca vaccine and the thrombosis incidents is under investigation.
