Unexplained Sudden Death Among Youth Adults In India Not Linked To COVID Vaccine !?!
Research conducted by the indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has convincingly demonstrated that the COVID-19 vaccine does not raise the risk of unexplained sudden death among young adults in India, Union health Minister jp nadda told the rajya sabha on Tuesday.
According to the study, immunization may actually reduce the risk of these kinds of fatalities.
The paper aimed to dispel concerns that COVID-19 vaccinations were responsible for certain young adults' early deaths.
The ICMR-National Institute of Epidemiology study focused on people between the ages of 18 and 45 who died unexpectedly from unknown reasons between october 1, 2021, and march 31, 2023, and who seemed to be in good health with no known co-morbidities.
47 tertiary care facilities in 19 states and Union Territories participated in the study.
The research comprised 2,916 controls and 729 instances of sudden death. According to the results, getting at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine—especially two doses—significantly decreased the risk of unexpected, unexplained death.
The study also found that several characteristics, such as a history of hospitalization due to COVID-19, a family history of sudden death, binge drinking 48 hours before death, using recreational drugs, and engaging in intense physical activity within 48 hours before death, increased the risk of sudden death.
Nadda noted that the investigation did not find a link between the COVID-19 vaccine and unexpected, unexplained deaths in young adults.
Rather, it was discovered that specific lifestyle choices, family history, and prior hospitalizations due to COVID-19 increased the risk of these fatalities.
A strong adverse event after immunization (AEFI) monitoring system has been put in place to monitor side effects linked to vaccines, the Union health Minister further promised.
Additionally, he emphadata-sized the need for prompt medical action, citing the provision of anaphylaxis kits at vaccination locations and the need for vaccine recipients to be observed for 30 minutes following immunization.
Nadda mentioned that educational materials were being disseminated in several languages and that states had received recommendations to improve the reporting of vaccine-related adverse events to raise awareness of AEFI.
To raise awareness, the government has also been working with immunization partners and using social media.
According to Nadda, this study dispels myths about the COVID-19 vaccine's association with inexplicable abrupt fatalities and offers crucial clarification on its safety.
