Introduction
We are now over two months into COVID vaccines being rolled out around the world. Adverse Health events, vaccine injuries, and deaths have been observed in many jurisdictions.
In this article I will provide a round up of data and information about Adverse Health events, injuries and deaths that have been associated with COVID vaccines. Being able to exercise Informed Consent requires having adequate information to weigh the potential benefits, costs, and risks of having a vaccine versus the risk of having a particular health condition and illness, such as COVID-19.
Because COVID vaccines are still experimental for the next 2+ years, and have only received interim, or emergency authorization from regulators in different countries, there is a great deal more safety data and information that is still being gathered.
Canada is not conducting research, or randomized clinical experimental (RCT) studies on the two vaccines that have been approved for Interim authorization -- Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Therefore, we are relying on the research being done in other countries. This means the responsibility is on health care participants to ensure they have reviewed information to conduct their own personal risk assessments that takes into consideration their own unique health profile and needs.

Adverse Events Following
Immunization (AEFI) Data
Dates: From mid-December 2020 – February 12th, 2021
- COVD Vaccine Doses Administered in Canada: 1,221,539
- 957 AEFI’s (.08% of all doses administered)
- 140 Serious AEFI’s (.01% of all doses administered)
- 817 Non-serious AEFI’s (.07% of all doses administered)
- # of reported adverse
events was highest among females and those aged 18 to 49.
Definition of Serious AEFI:
An event is considered serious if it:
- results in death
- is life-threatening (an
event/reaction in which the patient was at real, rather than hypothetical,
risk of death at the time of the event/reaction)
- requires in-patient
hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
- results in persistent or
significant disability/incapacity, or
- results in a congenital
anomaly/birth defect
Anaphylaxis: Among the 140 serious reports, the most frequently reported adverse event was anaphylaxis.

What is VAERS?
- VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to the system.
- VAERS is designed to rapidly detect unusual or unexpected patterns of adverse events, also known as “safety signals.”
