According to a Bloomberg report, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is conducting an investigation into potential adult deaths associated with Covid-19 vaccines. The scope of the inquiry is broader than previously understood, as it now includes cases across both adult and pediatric age groups. An FDA spokesperson told Bloomberg on Tuesday that the agency is performing a comprehensive, multi-division review of deaths that could be linked to Covid vaccination.
Earlier reports had indicated the evaluation was focused only on pediatric cases, but the expanded probe shows a wider internal effort. The development follows a leaked internal memo from last month in which Vinay Prasad, the FDA’s top vaccine regulator, stated that a review had identified 10 child deaths occurring after Covid vaccination.
