Multi-sick person, however, the day after covid vaccination
UPDATED:
A man in his 85s has died after being vaccinated against covid-19.
The man was multi-sick and lived in a special accommodation in the Kalmar Region.
- We do not suspect any connection with the vaccination itself, says Mattias Alvunger, chief physician for primary care in the Kalmar Region.
The 85-year-old man died the day after he was vaccinated with the Pfizer / Biontech vaccine. The man was multi-sick and lived in a special accommodation in the Kalmar Region .
- We do not see that it is a connection, but the death has occurred in time in connection with the vaccination, says Mattias Alvunger.
Mattias Alvunger says that they have not seen any side effects in any of the other people who received the vaccine, who all belong to the first priority group.
- We will continue to vaccinate according to plan, and then we will have to comply with the guidelines that exist. But it is our duty to report to authorities when this happens.
The cause of death is being investigated
The man in the 85-year-old died of a suspected cardiac arrest - but the cause of death has not yet been determined, the Medical Products Agency tells TT.
- We can not really say anything at the moment about a possible causal link because there is no established cause of death, says Veronica Arthurson, unit manager for drug safety at the Medical Products Agency, to TT.
The incident will now be investigated. She points out that there is nothing in the large clinical studies done on the vaccine that indicates that it causes side effects related to heart disease, according to TT.
