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.
