Dubois, who was just 39, received the jab in the town of Paphos, Cyprus, before being taken to the country's main state hospital in the capital of Nicosia after having some problems.

It has been reported that Dubois suffered a "serious thrombotic episode," just days after receiving the vaccine. Having initially received the first dose on May 6, she was taken to hospital eight days later due to issues in terms of her breathing and nervous system.
"So I had the vaccination today! I hate needles, today was no exception... And now I feel horrendous... pizza and bed for me," Dubois wrote on Facebook after receiving the first AstraZeneca vaccine.
That was followed up by a more worrying message on the social media platform eight days later, after she was taken to hospital in Nicosia.
"Woke up feeling fine and then within an hour I had body shakes, all my joints seized [up] and I was struggling to breathe and was cold to the bone with a persistent headache and dizziness," Dubois posted on Facebook on May 14.
"Mum and dad came to look after me and took me for a COVID test, which thankfully was negative... but it still doesn't explain what the problem is. Maybe I'm having a prolonged reaction to my COVID jab last week."
Sadly, she had slipped into a coma within five days and, as Andrew Powers, a friend of Dubois, noted, "[she] was not expected to come out of it."
Reports in Cyprus then claimed that Dubois had suffered a brain haemorrhage and her death was announced last Saturday, May 22.
Since its first outbreak in Wuhan province of China in December 2019, the coronavirus pandemic has rapidly spread throughout the world, hampering economic activities, causing changes in the patterns and modes of social interaction, affecting political processes, such as by forcing governments of some countries to postpone election activities, and above all, causing the deaths of millions of people.
Acceptance of the COVID-19 Vaccine or hesitancy towards it has become a thing of scrutiny.
In some countries, the fear of AstraZeneca vaccine side effects has been linked to low turnout for jabs.
AllNews understands that the vaccine has been 'banned in advanced countries', while many others are still sceptical of its safety.
