A fourth person has died in New Zealand where a link to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine could not be excluded, the Ministry of Health has announced.
The Covid-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board notified Te Whatu Ora of the death.
“This is a tragic circumstance, and the board expresses their sympathy to the individual’s whānau and friends,” a statement by the Ministry of Health read.
The board first reviewed the Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring (CARM) report relating to the death in March 2022, and again in April 2022.
“However, at the time, there was insufficient information to determine the potential role of the vaccine in the death. The Board met again in November 2022 to reconsider the case after receiving further information, which showed that the individual had myocarditis at the time of death.”
