An investigation has been launched into the death of a British journalist who her family says died from complications after having had the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.

BBC presenter Lisa Shaw, 44, died on Friday and her family say she had been treated for blood clots days after her first jab.

A coroner is now looking into the claims.

The interim fact-of-death certificate lists the vaccine as one of the possible factors being considered, reports the BBC.

The document, by Newcastle’s senior coroner Karen Dilks, confirms an investigation into Shaw’s death will be held and lists a “complication of AstraZeneca Covid-19 virus vaccination” as a consideration.

Shaw, who worked for BBC Radio Newcastle, was not known to have any underlying health problems.

In a statement her family said: “Lisa developed severe headaches a week after receiving her AstraZeneca vaccine and fell seriously ill a few days later.

“She was treated by the RVI’s [Royal Victoria Infirmary] intensive care team for blood clots and bleeding in her head.

“Tragically she passed away, surrounded by her family, on Friday afternoon. We are devastated and there is a Lisa-shaped hole in our lives that can never be filled. We will love and miss her always.
