The death occurred the day after an older person was vaccinated against covid-19. The person who died was severally ill and died of suspected cardiac arrest, the Kalmar Region announced in a press release.
It is currently unclear if death has something to do with vaccination.
– That we have reported this to the Medical Products Agency is a routine measure. Given the concerns that may exist about covid vaccines in particular, it is very important that we be open with what we can and follow the processes that we have, says chief physician Mattias Alvunger in a press release.
Matti Sällberg, a vaccine researcher at Karolinska, refers to the Medical Products Agency for answers about the specific case of the corona vaccine, but also says that it can happen by chance that someone who has been vaccinated becomes ill or even dies. .
– It is rare that we have new vaccines that go directly into old age and take multiple disease first. It is a very vulnerable group, which regardless of the vaccine has a higher risk of getting sick or dying, says Matti Sällberg and continues:
– But it is still very important to find out as soon as possible if there may be a connection to the vaccine. Although studies have shown that the safety profile is good, something extremely unusual can never be ruled out.
