A 47-year-old man from the town of Blagoevgrad, southwestern Bulgaria, has died a week after being vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine against Covid-19. It is unclear at this time whether he also had a coronavirus infection. An inspection of the case has been ordered by the authorities.

The man was vaccinated of his own free will on March 11 and he did not report any malaise or chronic illness. Last night, he felt unwell and his relatives called an ambulance, as the medical team only confirmed his death, reports BNR's correspondent in Blagoevgrad Katie Trencheva.

This is the second case in recent days with a fatal outcome after Covid vaccination in the region.
