The State Drug Control Agency (IARC) reports that a 77-year-old man died after the COVID-19 vaccination, but the death is not related to vaccines.
“Yesterday, during the vaccination, immediately after the vaccination, there was one death, in fact, at the time of the vaccination, a 77-year-old person died, the person had concomitant cardiovascular diseases. The case of death is not related to the vaccine, it is very important, “Gytis Andriulionis, director of IWT, said at a news conference on Friday.
According to him, this is not the first death in the vaccinated groups, but so far it has not been established that the death was caused by the vaccination process itself or the effect of the vaccine.
Rugilė Pilvinienė, senior advisor to IWT’s Pharmacovigilance and Poisoning Information Division, said the man had been resurrected for a long time, but could not be resurrected.
According to her, it was found that the vaccine “did not cause the death of the patient, but was more of a random phenomenon.”
Andrulionis says that the patient had been vaccinated with the first dose of AstraZeneca. The man, he said, died Thursday morning, the medical service reported on Friday afternoon.

R. Pilvinienė also revealed that the patient died in Pasvalys district municipality, personal outpatient health care institution, due to heart failure.
“This is a sudden death, called cardiac death, a death due to an acute heart disorder. As for the municipality, I think we can reveal that it is the Pasvalys district,” he said.
According to her, all adverse reactions after vaccination and other events are evaluated and reported to the European Pharmacovigilance Database, which receives the same reports from across the European Union.
At the same time, he highlighted that all cases of death, especially in the elderly shortly after vaccination, had also been evaluated by the European Medicines Agency and had not yet identified any link between death and vaccines.
“It is a sudden death, called cardiac death, a death due to an acute heart disorder.
IWT representatives emphasized that the institution provided detailed information on the cause of the patient’s death and that there was no reason for the service to question the information provided in this report.
The Authority also emphasizes that due to chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, there are no restrictions on vaccinating people with the COVID-19 vaccine, which should only be administered if the person exhibits signs of infection such as fever or an acute allergic reaction to the vaccine. vaccine.
Professor Aurelija Žvirblienė, an immunologist at the Vilnius University Life Sciences Center (VU GMC), emphasized that more than 20,000 people participated in the third phase of AstraZeneca clinical trials. no deaths were recorded in the unvaccinated and unvaccinated groups, although one person died in the unvaccinated group.
“The fact that a person practically died during the vaccination would actually show that it is due to other causes, previous diseases. Due to such a sudden reaction, it would even be difficult to explain here what could have happened so suddenly. Most likely it is due to the comorbidities that the person suffered, “he said.
Both A. Žvirblienė and R. Pilvinienė emphasized that it would be possible to associate vaccination with death only in cases where a person develops anaphylactic shock. This allergic reaction usually occurs in a maximum of 15 minutes and the patient may experience high blood pressure, fever, intestinal discomfort, rash, etc.
