A 68-year-old woman from Kansas died a day after receiving the Moderna vaccine due to an allergic reaction.
Jeanie Evans received her first dose of the Moderna COVID vaccine on March 23, 2021. About 15 to 20 minutes after receiving the COVID shot, Evans began to complain that she can hardly breathe.
She was rushed to Stormont-Vail Health hospital at 5:21 p.m. and was declared dead the next day at 11:55 a.m.
According to her obituary, Evans died unexpectedly on Wednesday, March 24, 2021, at the Stormont-Vail Hospital from a reaction to the Covid vaccine.
Eleven months after her death, it is now confirmed that she died of “anaphylaxis due to COVID-19 vaccination,” according to the autopsy report obtained by The Topeka Capital-Journal on Tuesday.
Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to something you’re allergic to.

The Topeka Capital-Journal acquired the autopsy report Tuesday from the Shawnee County coroner’s office after submitting a Kansas Open Records Act request.
Evans, 68, had a medical history of hypertension, environmental allergies, allergic disorder and reactive airway disease — which wasn’t asthma — and had experienced previous anaphylactic reaction to the drug Albuterol, the autopsy report said.
It said Evans began to complain that her airway felt blocked about 15 to 20 minutes after she received her first COVID vaccination on March 23, 2021. Evans was taken by ground ambulance at 5:21 p.m. to Stormont-Vail, where she died at 11:55 a.m. the next day.
Colt Umphenour, one of Evans’ sons, said the family intends to file suit.
“I am actively looking for a new attorney to represent the family,” Umphenour said.
