Sept. 7 (UPI) — A third person in Japan has died after receiving a dose of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine that was among batches recalled due to being potentially contaminated with foreign materials, Japanese health officials said.
Japan’s Ministry of Health on Monday said in a statement that a 49-year-old man died the morning after he received his second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine on Aug. 11.
“The causal relationship between the vaccination and the death is unknown,” it said.
