A Brazilian volunteer who participated in the Oxford vaccine tests died, informed the National Health Surveillance Agency ( Anvisa ) on Wednesday (21).

Researchers linked to immunization tests in Brazil point out that the volunteer was a 28-year-old man, doctor and resident of Rio de Janeiro.

Anvisa said it was notified of the death on October 19, and that it was informed that the independent committee that accompanies the case suggested that the study be continued (see the full Anvisa note below) . "The process remains under evaluation," said the agency.

Anvisa did not clarify whether the volunteer took the vaccine or the placebo. The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca informed G1 that it still did not have a position on the case.
