Vaccine trial patient files first US lawsuit against AstraZeneca

Brianne Dressen, a 42-year-old former teacher from Utah, says she developed a serious neurological condition after taking part in a vaccine trial in 2020.
She is suing AstraZeneca for alleged breach of contract after she says they failed to provide medical care for her side effects.
Her lawsuit is believed to be the first of its kind in the US, where the British-made vaccine was tested in clinical trials but never approved for use.
More than 50 people have already filed a class-action lawsuit against AstraZeneca in the UK in a case that could result in a multi-million pound payout. The company last week asked the EU to withdraw approval of the vaccine in member states.
