There is no causal link between the death of a 43-year-old woman and the AstraZeneca virus vaccine she was given, Spanish health authorities have said.

“There exists no cause/effect relationship between the administering of the AstraZeneca vaccine and the death of this woman,” said Jess Aguirre, health official for the southern region of Andalusia.

The person who died was a 43-year-old maths teacher in the southern city of Marbella with no pre-existing health conditions, according to AFP.

She suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and had complained of headaches after having the jab, but doctors had attributed the headaches to the normal side effects associated with the vaccine, Diario Sur newspaper reported.
