“Twenty-two cases have been investigated and evaluated by the Covid-19 Vaccine Special Pharmacovigilance Committee and it was found that the deaths have no links to the vaccinations received.
Out of these, 25,211 cases of adverse events following immunisation were reported, including 1,186 cases among those who received their booster jabs and 58 cases among children. Serious AEFIs are classified as hospital admissions, prolonged stays at wards, life-threatening effects or suspected deaths.
For AEFIs among children aged between five and 11, only one was a serious case involving hospitalisation although the patient had since been discharged, said Dr Roshayati, adding that the remaining 57 were not serious. Dr Roshayati said the incidence rate of myocarditis and pericarditis reported in the country were at 1.2 per million doses of the Comirnaty vaccine, which was lower than the global rate.
“The rate stands at about nine cases per million doses in the United Kingdom and between three and 20 per million doses in Australia,” she said.
