An unbiased board monitoring the protection of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccines says it could possibly’t rule out that one other particular person’s loss of life could also be linked to the Pfizer jab.

However, the protection board emphasises the advantages of getting vaccinated towards Covid-19 tremendously outweigh the chance of uncommon uncomfortable side effects.

The Ministry of Health stated it’s the fourth such loss of life in New Zealand since vaccinations started within the nation in February 2021. Nearly 12 million Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered in Aotearoa.

The Covid-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board first reviewed the loss of life in March 2022 and once more a month later.

At the time, there was inadequate data to find out the potential function of the vaccine within the loss of life.

The board met once more final month to rethink the case after receiving additional data.

The one that died had myocarditis on the time of loss of life.

This led the board to conclude the event of myocarditis within the particular person was presumably as a result of Pfizer vaccine.

“It’s important to note this case is with the Coroner who is still investigating the cause of death,” the Ministry of Health stated in a press release at present.

Myocarditis and pericarditis are often brought on by viral infections, together with Covid-19. It is a uncommon facet impact of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.
