A Princes Town man is barely clinging to life at hospital, after a major blood clot developed, causing him to be paralysed from the waist down.

His relatives say the 60 year-old father of two took the COVID 19 Astra Zeneca vaccine on Wednesday, and they're certain that's what led to the clot.

They tell reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh, doctors have refused to operate and have given the man mere hours or days to live.
