Screaming Barnsley teen died of ‘thunderclap headache’ agony after AstraZeneca Covid jab

Kasey Turner, 18, was training to be a paramedic and had received her Covid jab early, which meant that she was given the AstraZeneca jab. 

A trainee paramedic tragically died after developing a blood clot following her coronavirus vaccine. Kasey Turner, from Barnsley, was just 18 years old when she died, after presenting at Barnsley Hospital A&E with the “worst migraine she’d ever had”. 

During the teenager’s inquest, which opened today at Sheffield ‘s Medico Legal Centre, the court heard that Kasey had been “screaming in pain” due to what was noted as a ‘thunderclap headache’. 

A thunderclap headache is described as an extremely severe headache that comes on rapidly, usually developing in 60 seconds or less. 

During Kasey’s inquest, Dr Nicola Lee, a consultant radiologist at Barnsley Hospital, told the court that this type of headache is “most commonly associated with a subarachnoid hemorrhage”.
