At least four people the age of 37 died after taking the COVID-19 vaccine across the US, according to the National Vaccine Information Center.
Both authorized vaccines, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, were both approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use in December 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
While patients have passed away after receiving a dose of the two authorized vaccines, data from the National Vaccine Information Centre does not prove or disprove a direct link between receiving the vaccine and death.
Autopsies are not ordered in many cases. Reasons for those who've died are varied and unique, including "massive heart attack" several days after receiving the vaccine to suffering intense flu-like symptoms within hours of receiving the vaccine.
