(ANSA-AFP) - LJBLJANA, SEP 29 - Slovenia on Wednesday
temporarily suspended vaccinations with Johnson & Johnson after
a 20-year-old woman died of a brain hemorrhage and blood clots
just days after getting a jab. "The health ministry has called
on the Public Health Institute to temporarily suspend
vaccinations with the Janssen vaccine until all details related
to this case are cleared up," Health Minister Janez Poklukar
told a news conference in Ljubljana, using another name for the
jab. Experts advising the government recommended the suspension
after learning that "there could be an undesired link between
the death and the vaccination," said Bojana Beovic, who heads
the expert group. Media reported the woman had been hospitalised
on Monday in severe condition, only days after receiving a
Johnson & Johnson jab. (ANSA-AFP).
