According to the reports, Rajamoni was given the COVID-19 vaccine jab on April 12, Monday. The relatives stated that after getting vaccinated Rajamoni suffered from fever and had vomitings. When her situation deteriorated, she was taken to a hospital, where she was declared dead. "Due to high fever, she even had fits. On Wednesday, her family got worried looking at her condition and shifted her to a hospital in Shamshabad. The doctors there said that she was brought dead," one of the relatives told a leading newspaper organization.

Why No Post-Mortem Was Done?

The officials are yet to confirm what actually led to the death of the 32-year-old lady as reports suggested that the last rites were performed without any post-mortem. This comes amid special guidelines by the WHO, wherein anybody who is dying within 30 days of immunization an autopsy is a must to understand whether the death is due to the vaccine jab or not. Speaking to the media, one of the relatives of the deceased 32-year-old woman said, "Some health department officials visited and told Mayuri's family that post-mortem will be conducted but it did not take place. Some Mandal-level officials later promised her family Rs 10 lakhs compensation and admission of her children in government residential school. The funeral took place by evening."
