independent probe into the 2021 death of 27-year-old Jack Last has revealed significant NHS failings. Last died from a blood clot after receiving the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, despite being ineligible due to his age. His GP mistakenly called him up early for vaccination, denying him a safer alternative recommended for under-30s. The report attributed Last's death to "a combination of system shortcomings, human error, and tragic unfortunate timing," highlighting the need for improved vaccine administration protocols. The findings have led Last's family to accuse the NHS of a "litany of errors" that cost a young life.
