COVID-19 Vaccine Trial Participant Has Died

A Brazilian volunteer in Astra Zeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials has died, according to Brazilian healthy authority Anvisa.

Even so, a spokesperson from the University of Oxford, which is developing the vaccine with AstraZeneca, said after an assessment of the case, ‘there have been no concerns about safety of the clinical trial” and that the trial should continue, CNBC reported.

The FDA still has the trial on hold in the U.S., due to an “unexplained illness” in one of the trial participants in the U.K.
