German Court Hears of Severe Vaccine Side Effects
29th October 2025
A trial concerning the possible serious side effects of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is now underway at the Bamberg Higher Regional Court.
A woman from Hof is seeking hundreds of thousands of euros in damages after suffering intestinal vein thrombosis, falling into a coma, and losing part of her intestine following vaccination in March 2021.
The plaintiff claims she was not informed about the potential risks, demanding €250,000 in damages, €17,200 in lost earnings and an additional €600,000 for future impairments. AstraZeneca had not listed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) as a side effect at the time, though it was added to the product information in March 2021.
