Eddie Avitan, a 67-year-old resident of Kiryat Malachi, died last night two days after receiving the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

"A well-known and beloved man in the city. The cause of death is unclear, but according to his friends he felt unwell after receiving the vaccine, went to the emergency room, and after being tested and released he died tonight, apparently from a heart attack. May his memory be blessed," wrote journalist Almog Boker.
