WELLINGTON (REUTERS) - New Zealand reported on Monday (Aug 30) that a woman had died following her Comirnaty Pfizer Covid-19 vaccination.
An independent Covid-19 vaccine safety monitoring board considered that the woman's death was due to myocarditis, which is known to be a rare side effect of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, the health ministry said in a statement.
The board noted there were other medical issues occurring at the same time which may have influenced the outcome following vaccination, the statement said.
