The Therapeutic Goods Administration says it’s aware of a 55-year-old man who has died in a Tamworth Hospital.
It’s understood the man died eight days after a COVID-19 vaccination.
The administration says it’s not yet confirmed what caused the man’s death, and whether it is linked to the vaccine.
“The reporting of an adverse event to TGA post vaccination does not mean the event was caused by the vaccination.
“All reports to the TGA of death following vaccination are reviewed to assess the likelihood that the vaccine contributed to the event or medical condition that lead to a fatal outcome.
This review is undertaken by clinical staff and includes gathering and considering relevant clinical information on the patient’s current and past medical history, risk factors and medications …” – Therapeutic Goods Administration.
