Scott Morrison warned against the media rushing to conclusions about the death of a New South Wales woman from blood clots a day after being vaccinated for COVID-19.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration said preliminary tests have not found a conclusive link between the death and the vaccination.
Vice-president of the Australian Medical Association, Chris Moy, said focusing on unconfirmed vaccine side effects could have a devastating effect on public confidence.
Dr. Moy warned the media would be partially responsible if unvaccinated Australians get seriously ill from COVID-19.
