AMMAN — A 66-year-old man died on Sunday at a vaccination
center after receiving the second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine, the
Ministry of Health announced, stressing that the cause of death is yet to be determined,
and it cannot be linked to the vaccine at this point.

The ministry said that it is currently in the process of
studying the deceased’s medical file to determine the cause of death, which
occurred 10 minutes after the jab at the University of Jordan’s
vaccination center, according to the university’s media and public relations unit.
The medical staff at the vaccination center performed all
necessary first aid measures and tried to resuscitate the man after he
collapsed at the center, according to the ministry.
The Ministry of Health noted in a statement that the
66-year-old “suffered from chronic diseases,” but added that the case is still
being studied, and more details would be announced when the data is complete.
The official responsible for the vaccination campaign at the
University of Jordan, Kefah Al-Jamaani, told Al-Ghad daily that the body of the
deceased has been transferred to the coroner to determine the cause of death,
and whether it was associated with the vaccine or was due to a separate health
issue, noting that the university has no record of the man’s medical file, and
cannot speak to his health condition prior to the vaccination.
