On 5 January 2021, the Ministry of Health established a special Commission in order to determine whether the adverse event of the death of one vaccinated person is associated with the vaccination against the COVID-19 communicable disease, explained
Mr Kacin. The Commission consisted of four members: an infectious disease
specialist, an epidemiologist, a cardiologist, and a representative of the Slovenian Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices.
Yesterday, on 6 January, the Commission issued its opinion, saying that a link between the death and the vaccination is not likely. Hence, the death was not caused by the COVID-19 vaccine but was the result of pre-existing health issues.
