Parents Plan Legal Action Against Serum Institute Over Alleged Covishield Side Effect Leading to Daughter’s Death

Vaccine injection. Syringe with medicine in the hands of a doctor in blue gloves. Prophylaxis and treatment of infectious and viral diseases. Inoculation against influenza. Vaccination against rabies.

After AstraZeneca acknowledged the rare side effect known as TTS, characterized by blood clots and reduced platelet levels, the parents of two girls who died after receiving the Covishield vaccine are reportedly planning to sue Serum Institute. Rithaika Sri Omtri, 18, experienced symptoms including high fever and difficulty walking after her first dose in May 2021, later passing away due to thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). Similarly, Karunya Govindan died a month after vaccination, though her death’s direct link to the vaccine remains unestablished.
