Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine not linked to post-jab deaths, says EU regulator

India Today  

The Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus jab has no link to reported post-vaccination deaths and no new side effects, the EU's medicines regulator said Friday based on the first data from the vaccine's rollout. In its first safety update since the EU started its vaccination campaign in December, the watchdog said that overall, data "is consistent with the known safety profile of the vaccine, and no new side effects were identified." "The benefits of Comirnaty in preventing Covid-19 continue to outweigh any risks, and there are no recommended changes regarding the use of the vaccine," the EMA said. The EMA said that "given concerns which arose from Norway" it had reviewed reports of deaths of people of any age after receiving the jab.
