Researchers at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are planning on publishing a study on four potential adverse effects in elderly people who received the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The study results are currently under internal review at FDA and are expected later this fall
The FDA in 2021 identified four potential adverse events - blood clots in lungs, low blood platelet levels, insufficient oxygen to the heart and disseminated intravascular coagulation - after analyzing Medicare insurance plan claims.
- These four events may not be true safety concerns, and the screening method cannot establish that the vaccine caused these [adverse events of interest].
