A Deputy Editor for the New York Times passed away of a heart attack just one day after receiving the Moderna Covid-19 booster vaccine.
Deputy Asia Editor Carlos Tejada, 49, was married and tragically left behind two children. He worked on the paper’s coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic, among other topics. Before he worked at the New York Times, he spent some time at the Wall Street Journal. According to his New York Times bio, he has worked as a reporter and editor for nearly two decades in cities such as New York, Beijing, Hong Kong and Dallas.
Just a day before his death, Tejada posted on his Instagram about his gratitude for being able to receive the Moderna booster while working in Seoul, South Korea. In July, he originally received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Although, less than a day after getting his booster shot, he died of a heart attack.
