A 44-year-old man has been admitted to a hospital in Victoria with blood clots, several days after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, the ABC understands.
The man was vaccinated on or around March 22 and was recently admitted to Box Hill Hospital in Melbourne with serious thrombosis and a low platelet count.
Australia's medical regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, updated its guidance on the AstraZeneca jab last month, saying there had been no proven link between the vaccine and the development of blood clots.
Some European countries temporarily suspended the rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine after several recipients developed blood clots.
Most of the documented cases were people under the age of 55.
