“New Zealand authorities on Monday said they had linked a 26-year-old man's death to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine after the person suffered myocarditis after taking his first dose.
The death is New Zealand's second linked to a known but rare side effect from the vaccine after health authorities in August reported a woman had died after taking her doses.
New Zealand's vaccine safety board also said another two people, including a 13-year-old, had died with possible myocarditis after taking their vaccinations.
Despite the rare side effects, the vaccine safety board said the benefits of vaccination greatly outweighed the risks.”
