Covid vaccine causing sudden cardiac deaths? What ICMR, AIIMS studies revealed
The ministry of health and family welfare cited extensive studies conducted by ICMR and AIIMS on sudden deaths among adults post-Covid to make that claim
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said on Wednesday that no link has been found between the Covid-19 vaccines and the surge of sudden deaths due to heart attacks.
The ministry cited extensive studies conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on sudden deaths among adults post-C to make that claim.
“Extensive studies by ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) and AIIMS on sudden deaths among adults post-COVID have conclusively established no linkage between COVID-19 vaccines and sudden deaths. Studies by ICMR and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) have affirmed that COVID-19 vaccines in India are safe and effective, with extremely rare instances of serious side effects,” the ministry said in a statement.
The statement clarified that sudden cardiac deaths can occur due to various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, pre-existing conditions, and post-C complications.
