Description
Sreemanee Raaj Dorajoo and co-authors run nationwide vaccine safety surveillance in a 2023 study from Singapore. The team tracked COVID-19 messenger RNA vaccines through the primary series and first booster in everyone aged five and up, using national data through September 2022.
They screened eight flagged events, including strokes, heart inflammation, and blood clots, by comparing observed cases with the numbers expected from background rates. Three events ran high: myocarditis and pericarditis, appendicitis, and a rare brain vein clot. A self-controlled analysis, which compares each person with themselves, confirmed the main signals within weeks of a dose.
