Italian media have identified a man who died hours after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine against Covid-19.

He is Sandro Tognatti, 57, a clarinetist in the RAI orchestra of Turin and professor at the Conservatory of Novara.

UPDATE: His wife has issued a statement

UPDATE2:
Professor Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford vaccine group which developed the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab, has said “safety is clearly absolutely paramount” and no link had been found between the vaccine and blood clots. He was speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme after several European countries suspended use of the coronavirus vaccine over concerns about possible side effects.
