AstraZeneca vaccine: 'Doctors had

inkling it was the Co vid jab’, say

family of blood clot victim, 51

Ms Barlow, 51, had flu-like symptoms in the first couple of days after her jab, which is a

common side effect. But a week later she developed severe headaches, diarrhoea and

sickness for which her GP gave her medication.

She got “progressively worse and worse” and - as reports started to emerge from

around Europe of extremely rare side effects from the jab - she was admitted to

hospital on 20 March.

She was pronounced dead three days after being admitted to hospital, and is one of at

least 19 people who have died from unusual clots soon after having the vaccine.

The civil servant, who had no underlying health conditions, was found to have low

blood platelets and two clots on her lungs.

Like so many others, Michelle Barlow was delighted to get her coronavirus vaccine. The

mother-of-two and her husband, Ian, booked their appointments as soon as they got the

call, knowing it was the right thing to do.

But their relief at finally being given the vaccination turned to concern when Michelle

fell ill in the days after having the AstraZeneca (AZ) jab on 7 March.

Recalling the moment his wife was admitted to the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary, also

known as Wigan Infirmary, Mr Barlow, 56, from Wigan, said: “It was a shock because

Michelle was fit and healthy.

“She was active and always walking the dog. She told me that the doctors had said they

had an inkling it could well be the vaccine.”

According to her death certificate, the cause of her death was pulmonary embolisms

and blood clots in her abdomen and portal vein. A coroner ruled she died from natural

causes, which her family have asked to be reconsidered after more information about

the vaccine’s risks have emerged.
