Neil Astles' brother tells an inquest that he 'had the vaccine even after Neil died'.
Mr Astles' wife Carole told the inquest that linking his symptoms to the vaccine "never even entered our minds"
An inquest at Bootle Town Hall heard Neil Astles developed a blood clot on his brain and died days after his first dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.Recording a conclusion of misadventure, senior coroner Julie Goulding thanked his family for their "clear position" on the importance of being vaccinated.
His wife Carole said linking his symptoms to the vaccine "never even entered our minds, because it was nine days after that he developed headaches".She said her husband, who worked as a solicitor for Warrington Borough Council, was fit and healthy before the jab, but went to Warrington Hospital on 2 April after ringing 111 for advice.
Intensive care consultant Dr Lawrence McCrossan said Mr Astles' "conscious level was holding its own, so we felt there was an opportunity to try and get that stabilised", but added that "things deteriorated very, very rapidly".
