A Quebec woman in her 50s has died of a blood clot that occurred after she received the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
The province's public health director says officials always knew that rare complications were possible with vaccines.
Dr. Horacio Arruda says the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine still far outweigh the risks.
Arruda notes there have been four reports of complications out of 400,000 people who have received the vaccines.
He says Quebec will continue to offer the vaccine to residents between the ages of 45 and 79.
Health Minister Christian Dube a told a news conference that any death is sad but the province always knew rare complications were possible.
