Health Ministry principal medical officer Dr Maryam Abdool-Richards has said there is no evidence to suggest a relationship between two recent deaths and the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Speaking at the ministry’s media conference on Monday, Abdool-Richards said,
“There is no evidence to suggest a relationship between the covid19 vaccine that was given within a couple days and the deaths of these people.
She added, We don’t give any details about the situation of the deaths and the findings around that due to patient confidentiality and ethics that we follow. There have been claims of such a link in the case of a man in south Trinidad who was vaccinated and afterwards became paralysed and died. There has been similar speculation over Energy Minister Franklin Khan s being vaccinated last week and dying suddently on Saturday. Khan had a history of heart problems.
