California authorities are investigating the case of a person who died several hours after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine last week.
The Placer County Sheriff’s Office and the Placer County Public Health Department recently received a notification of vaccination and death, which happened Thursday, according to a statement posted to Facebook by the sheriff’s office.
It is not clear what vaccine the person received or whether it played an important role in his death.
“We are not establishing any link to the vaccine,” a spokeswoman representing the Placer County sheriff’s office and the forensic office said, adding that an autopsy had been planned. “We ask the public to stay patient with us as this investigation continues and we hope we have more clarity.”
Spokesmen representing the Placer County Sheriff’s Office, Forensic and Public Health said they could not disclose further details about the incident.
