TORONTO — Ontario reported its first death linked to a rare blood clot associated with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine Tuesday as many who received a first dose of the vaccine faced challenges trying to schedule second shots.

The province administered nearly a million doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine before halting first shots earlier this month due to what it said was an increased risk of blood clots.

Dr. Barbara Yaffe, Ontario's associate medical officer of health, said a man in his 40s who received a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine at the end of April passed away a few weeks later.
