A local man in his 20s in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, died after receiving the AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine. The medical record noted the presence of a 'blood clot,' but health authorities stated that the connection between the vaccine and the death is unclear.


According to the Indonesian Ministry of Health and local media on the 10th, Trio Fauqi Virdaus, a 22-year-old man living in Jakarta, received the AstraZeneca vaccine on the 5th at the Gelora Bung Karno Asian Games Stadium in Jakarta.


His family said that around 3:30 PM, after returning home, he complained of severe headaches, high fever, and leg pain. Trio visited a nearby hospital, but it was closed, so he could not receive treatment. His condition worsened, and he experienced difficulty breathing and seizures.


The family took Trio to a large hospital emergency room on the 6th, but he was pronounced dead upon arrival around 12:30 PM. The medical record noted the presence of a blood clot, but the specific location of the clot in the body was not disclosed.



The family stated, "The company where Trio worked required vaccination," and "colleagues who were vaccinated together experienced similar symptoms, but Trio's headache was particularly severe." They added, "Trio had no serious illnesses and was healthy when he went to work the day before his death."
