A county in Washington on Tuesday confirmed that a woman died from blood-clotting complications after receiving Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. She is believed to be the fourth person to have died from such a complication.

King County stated that a female resident in her late 30s had died from the “very rare” complication. The unnamed resident received her J&J shot Aug. 26.

“Her cause of death was determined to be thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), a condition that has been identified as a rare but potentially serious adverse event in people who received the J&J vaccine,” the county said in a statement.
