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. 

The Canadian government has reported 26 deaths have occurred after COVID19 vaccines were administered in Canada. Upon further medical investigation and review, the Canadian government reported 14 deaths were not associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. They have also reported 12 of these deaths continue to be under investigation. Anecdotal reports of post-vaccine deaths are being reported across Canada. Official statistical data being reported in Canada does not appear to be capturing all of the post-vaccine AEFI's, or mortalities. 

In this article I will provide an overview of Canadian government statistical data and information about Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFI) with COVID-19 vaccines, vaccine injuries and reactions that have been associated with these vaccines up to March 26th, 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 384 serious reports, the most frequently reported adverse event was anaphylaxis.

Special Note Regarding AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine: There have been reports in Europe of blood clots associated with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia) following vaccination with the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. 

⮚ Following rare European reports of blood clots associated with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), the National Advisory Committee on Immunization and the Chief Medical Officers of Health recently recommended that AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines should not be used in adults under age 55.
