Amaravati: An infraction in the brain caused the death of the 44-year-old ASHA worker in Guntur on January 24 and it was not related to COVID-19 vaccine she had taken days earlier, the post-mortem report said on Tuesday.
Colleagues of the 44-year old worker had earlier alleged that she died following the coronavirus vaccination, though Guntur Collector Samuel Anand had said the exact cause of the death would be known only after post-mortem and maintained there was not a single adverse event reported in the district.
A senior health department official told PTI on Tuesday that the post-mortem report cited “infraction in the brain” was the cause of the ASHA workers death. It said the death was not related to COVID-19 vaccine, he added.
Shortly before the report came, Deputy Chief Minister Alla Kali Krishna Srinivas (Nani), who holds the Health portfolio, denied the ASHA worker’s death was due to Adverse Event.
