   B.C. reports 1st case of rare blood-clotting disorder in woman who received   
   AstraZeneca vaccine   
      
   Woman in her 40s in stable condition and being treated in Vancouver Coastal   
   Health region   
      
   B.C. has recorded its first case of a vaccine-induced thrombosis related to   
   the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, a rare side effect of what health officials   
   maintain is still a highly effective vaccine.   
      
   Provincial Health Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix made the   
   announcement at a news conference in the Fraser Health region on Thursday —   
   while also announcing 694 new cases of COVID-19 and one additional death, a   
   one-day increase, despite    
   cases generally trending downward over the last few weeks.   
      
   Henry said the affected woman, who was in her 40s and in the Vancouver Coastal   
   Health region, is now stable, emphasizing the condition is extremely rare and   
   can be treated. She said the woman noticed her symptoms five or six days after   
   receiving a dose    
   of AstraZeneca and went to her doctor, who, suspecting it might be a condition   
   related to the vaccine, conducted a diagnostic blood test that revealed low   
   platelet counts.

   Henry said symptoms usually appear four to 28 days after receiving the   
   vaccine, and are far more common following the first dose than the second dose.

   Thank god for an alert doctor. 4 to 28 days after the shot seems a helluva   
   time span in which to be on alert for issues.
