NDTV
The benefits of Covid vaccination are overwhelmingly greater than the risks, the Central panel has said.
Up to 60 people have experienced "serious adverse events" following Covid immunisation, according to a report by a Central panel studying such cases. Its previous report, published last month, had registered 31 such cases. The National Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) Committee, which conducts causality assessment of AEFIs for COVID-19, completed its assessment on May 27. It has submitted is report to the Union Health Ministry. Fifty-five of the 60 cases reported this time were found to have a consistent causal association to vaccination. Of these, 36 were anxiety-related reactions and 18 were product-related, while one was categorised as both. Five cases have been found to have an "inconsistent" causal association to vaccination -- this included a case of death.More Related News
