Introduction
COVID-19 Vaccines have been getting administered in Canada since December 2020. Around the world countries are reporting Adverse Health events, and deaths post-vaccine.
In the third month of COVID vaccine administration in Canada, the federal government has failed to report a single COVID Vaccine related death, unlike most other jurisdictions. This suggests serious challenges to the statistical integrity of Canada's Adverse Health event and vaccine injury reporting systems. Canada continues to report statistical data and information about hundreds of serious and non-serious reactions in those who have received these experimental vaccines.
In this article I will provide a round up of Canadian data and information about Adverse Health events, vaccine injuries and reactions that have been associated with COVID vaccines up to March 5th, 2021, the last date these statistics were reported. I will also provide Adverse Health event and reaction statistical data and information from the United States.

⮚ 1923 AEFI’s (.09% of all doses administered);
- (Feb. 12th: 957; Feb. 19th: 1235; ; Feb. 26th:1591)
⮚
214 Serious AEFI’s (.01% of all doses administered);
- (Feb. 12th: 140; Feb. 19th: 167; Feb. 26th:194)
⮚
1,709 Non-serious AEFI’s (.08% of all doses administered); - (Feb. 12th: 817Feb. 19th:1068; Feb. 26th:1397)
⮚ # of reported adverse events was highest among females and those aged 18 to 49.⮚ 85.3 reports per 100,000 doses administered (out of a total of 1,709 reports) up to and including March 5, 2021.
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 214 serious reports, the most frequently reported adverse event was anaphylaxis.

Informed Consent and COVID Vaccines
Under the Nuremberg Code, which is used for scientific research involving human subjects, Informed Consent can only be made when vaccine recipients are provided with 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 collected through research trials that are continuing.
An important note:
Canada is not conducting randomized clinical experimental (RCT) studies on the COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved for Interim authorization and use Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca.
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 safety information to conduct their own personal risk assessments that takes into consideration their own unique health profile and needs.
