Lisa Shaw, who was a news presenter on BBC Newcastle has died after suffering complications from the AstraZeneca vaccine, a coroner has ruled.
Lisa's family have spoken saying she died after getting blood clots following the jab, reports the Mirror.
She suffered "severe" headaches a week after having the jab and was seriously ill a few days later.

She died in May at the age of 44 at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary after being treated for blood clots and bleeding in intensive care.
People in the UK under the age of 40 are being offered an alternative to the AstraZeneca jab following reports of extremely rare blood clots on the brain coupled with low blood platelet count.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) had said the benefits of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine continue to outweigh risks for most people. It has not proven the vaccine causes the clots but has said the link is getting firmer.
Tributes flooded in for Lisa after news of her tragic death.
The BBC said in a statement: "We are all completely heartbroken, in disbelief, numb, and saddened, that there is a Lisa-shaped hole in our lives that will never, ever be filled.
"We are so grateful for the time that we have had with her, and there are so many happy memories that we will hold dear for the rest of our lives.
"She was the best wife and mammy, sister, daughter, aunty, friend and colleague that anyone could hope for.
"She loved connecting every day with the wonderful people of the North East, and it gives us great comfort to know how many lives she was an integral part of every single day.
"We'd like to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support we have received at such a difficult time, reinforcing how deeply cherished she was by so many people. We will love and miss her, always."
Rik Martin, acting executive editor at BBC Radio Newcastle, said: "Everyone at the station is devastated and thinking about Lisa’s lovely family.
"She was a trusted colleague, a brilliant presenter, a wonderful friend, and a loving wife and mum. She loved being on the radio and was loved by our audiences. We’ve lost someone special who meant a great deal to a great many people."
