In a lawsuit for damages due to complaints after a corona vaccination, the Hof district court dismissed a lawsuit against the vaccine manufacturer Astra Zeneca. A court spokeswoman said on Tuesday the German Press Agency. The decision had already been announced on January 3, and the plaintiff then appealed to the Higher Regional Court (OLG) in Bamberg. The civil lawsuit is likely to be one of the first against a corona vaccine manufacturer in Germany.
After severe health problems, which she attributes to vaccination with the Covid 19 vaccine Vaxzevria from the British-Swedish manufacturer, the woman sued the company for damages and damages. Details were not initially known.
The Higher Regional Court confirmed receipt of the appeal. According to an OLG spokesman, it is still unclear whether there will be a hearing. The competent Senate is now advising how to proceed.
In spring 2021, Astra Zeneca vaccinations were temporarily suspended. The reason was rare cases of cerebral vein thrombosis (blood clots) in combination with a reduced number of blood platelets. Among other things, the European Medicines Agency EMA took a close look at the cases. Result: The benefit of the vaccination clearly outweighs the risk.
