The nation of Slovenia has suspended use of the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, following the death of a 20-year old woman two weeks after she received the jab.

Health Minister Janez Poklukar announced use of J&J would be suspended while health authorities investigate potential connections between the use of the vaccine and the woman’s death as a result of a stroke.

Poklukar described the woman’s death as resulting from a “suspected serious adverse event” at the Ljubljana University Medical Centre. In a statement, Poklukar described such incidences as extremely rare, encouraging the Slovenian public to get other vaccines while authorities investigate any connection between the death and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
