In Japan, at least 39 people have died after being vaccinated against coronavirus infection with the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccines, but the link between the drug and the deaths has not been established.
According to the Yomiuri edition, citing data from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare of the country, among the deceased were persons aged 20 to 90 years. The department notes that the presence of such incidents today does not give rise to serious concerns about the quality of the drug.
According to the data presented, after vaccination with this vaccine, 107 cases of severe allergic reactions were also noted, but they managed to be removed by medication. As noted, after the second dose, about 30 percent of those vaccinated experienced a temporary increase in temperature.
To date, only the Pfizer vaccine is used in Japan, which, according to experts, is effective against all eight strains of coronavirus infection recorded in the country. As the website kp.ru wrote, athletes at the Tokyo Olympics will also be vaccinated with BioNTech and Pfizer vaccines
