The teenager was hospitalized at the Nantes University Hospital on October 19. He died from his injuries a little over a week after the incident. “This type of discomfort can occur due to stress caused by vaccination, but is unrelated to the vaccine product or to a quality defect in the vaccine”insists the Regional Health Agency in a press release.
