Man died of 'catastrophic' Covid jab reaction after outdated advice from vaccine hub

A 26-year-old graduate died from a rare AstraZeneca Covid vaccine complication after being given out-of-date information about the risk of blood clots, Birmingham Coroner's Court heard.

Jack Hurn, originally from Devon but living in Redditch, Worcestershire at the time, lost his life in June 2021 less than two weeks after receiving the jab.

A week-long inquest was told that a GP informed Mr Hurn the risk of a blood clot on the brain for his age group was one in 250,000 - at a time when the most recent NHS guidance estimated it to be one in 50,000.
