CHENNAI: The chance of dying from getting a Covid vaccine is 0.0002 per cent, based on data derived from 43 lakh vaccine doses administered in Tamil Nadu, said Director of Public Health (DPH) and preventive medicine, TS Selvavinayagam, speaking to Express. “The chance of an individual dying from Covid-19 is 40 times higher than the chance of one dying from its vaccine,” he said responding to public concerns on vaccine safety after the death of actor Vivekh.
Dr Gagandeep Kang, FRS, and a vice-chair of the board of Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness, Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore said that it is very hard to identify a risk factor based on a single-case.
