Each had a shot from one of three manufacturing lots suspended on Thursday. The causes of death are being investigated.<\/p>\n<p>Japan halted the use of 1.63 million Moderna doses shipped to 863 vaccination centers nationwide, more than a week after the domestic distributor, Takeda Pharmaceutical, received reports of contaminants in some vials. <\/p>\n<p> &quot;At this time, we do not have any evidence that these deaths are caused by the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine,&quot; Moderna and Takeda said in a statement on Saturday. &quot;It is important to conduct a formal investigation to determine whether there is any connection.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The government has also said no safety or efficacy issues had been identified and the suspension of the three Moderna batches was a precaution.<\/p>\n<p>Fumie Sakamoto, the infection control manager at St. Luke&#x27;s International Hospital in Tokyo, cautioned against drawing a connection between the shots and the fatalities reported on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;There may only be a temporal relationship between vaccination and death,&quot; Sakamoto told Reuters. &quot;There are so many things we still don&#x27;t know to make any conclusions on these two cases.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The contaminants found in some vials in Japan are believed to be metallic particles, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing health ministry sources.<\/p>\n<p>Japan has administered more than 124 million COVID-19 vaccine shots, with about 44% of the population fully inoculated.<\/p>\n<p>As of Aug. 8, 991 people had died in Japan after receiving shots of Pfizer&#x27;s vaccine and 11 after receiving Moderna&#x27;s, but no causality between the injections and the deaths has been established, according to the health ministry. Adverse reactions have been reported at a frequency of 0.01% for the Moderna shot.<\/p>\n<p>In the fatalities reported on Saturday, each man had a fever the day after his second dose and died two days after getting the fever. There has been no evidence that their shots contained contaminants, a health ministry official told reporters. <\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/28\/two-die-in-japan-after-shots-from-suspended-moderna-shotos-government.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two people died after receiving Moderna Covid-19<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":137066,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23051],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
