The individual is reported to have received the first jab slightly over two weeks ago and the Medicines Authority is investigating whether or not there may be a link between the two as the person remains in stable condition, according to the Health Ministry.

Local authorities, along with the European Medicines Authority maintain their position that the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the rare risks.
