This information was released after the independent commission on monitoring the safety of drugs from COVID-19 checked the death of a woman after vaccination.
“This is the first time in New Zealand that deaths in the early days after vaccination have been associated with Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine,” the report said.
The statement noted that the death was due to myocarditis, which was caused by a side effect following the Pfizer vaccine.
It is noted that Pfizer, Janssen and AstraZeneca vaccines are now approved for immunizing the population in New Zealand.
