Concerns about a possible link to ischemic strokes first emerged late last year. Read more at straitstimes.com.
WASHINGTON - Fears that the Covid-19 booster shots made by Pfizer-BioNTech may increase the risk of strokes in people ages 65 and older were not borne out by an intensive scientific investigation, federal officials said on Friday.
It is unclear whether the new reassurance will prompt Americans to receive a bivalent shot if they have not already done so. Only 39 per cent of adults ages 65 and older, and only 16 per cent of those ages 5 and older, have so far received a bivalent booster shot. The data prompted federal officials to comb through other vaccine safety databases, as well as observations from the United States and other countries. The investigators did not find evidence of an increased risk of strokes in any of these sources, federal officials said in their statement.
Among about 550,000 people ages 65 and older who had received the Pfizer-BioNTech bivalent booster, 130 had ischemic strokes in the 21 days after receiving the shot, raising fears that the two events were related. But analysis of the data using a different method did not reveal an increased risk of ischemic stroke.
