In Kerala, a student died of a brain haemorrhage, and his family believes it was caused by a vaccine side effect

Kozhencherry: The untimely death of a seemingly healthy 19-year-old graduation student from a brain haemorrhage in Kerala’s Thiruvalla town on Thursday has perplexed her family and the medical community.

Nova Sabu, the 19-year-old daughter of Sabu C Thomas, died on Thursday morning in a private hospital.

Nova had received the first dose of the Covid vaccine during a visit to a private medical college hospital in Kochi on July 28. She had then visited the hospital to get braces for her teeth, her relatives said.

When she returned, she was feverish and had uneasiness for two days. She was taken to a private hospital in Kozhencherry for further assessment.

However, the uneasiness persisted even after I was discharged. Neither did the prescribed medications help.

On August 7, Nova was admitted to a hospital in Thiruvalla after her condition worsened. She was placed on a ventilator after a brain haemorrhage was discovered.

Nova was a graduate student at Kochi’s Amrita College. Jean, her mother, is a teacher at St Mary’s School in Ranni.

“An investigation has been launched, and the medical report determining the cause of death has yet to be submitted,” said AL Sheeja, District Medical Officer.
