In the canton of Lucerne, a person died after being vaccinated against the corona virus, as confirmed by the local health department. Consequently, it has not been proven whether there is a connection between vaccination and death.
The Lucerne Health Directorate reported the case to the Swiss Institute of Medicines, Swissmedic, which had approved the vaccine administered by Pfizer / Biontech, as it was called at the request of Keystone-SDA.
On the occasion of the approval, Swissmedic announced that it would closely monitor the safety of the vaccine. Based on the information at the time, the most common side effects that were documented were those that were comparable to those of a flu vaccine. Swissmedic operates a special online system for medical professionals to report suspected adverse effects.
According to the zeitpunkt.ch report published on Wednesday, the person was vaccinated on December 24 at a center for patients with dementia and died on December 29.
