Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is safe for elderly people, says WHO The World Health Organization’s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety says it has not seen any unexpected or untoward increase in fatalities in frail and elderly individuals who have received the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. The committee published its opinion today (January 22) after reviewing deaths following vaccination with BNT162b2 in this demographic in Europe as well as those reported via the WHO global database (VigiBase). Norway, in particular, had reported 23 deaths in elderly people following vaccination. “The current reports do not suggest any unexpected or untoward increase in fatalities in frail, elderly individuals or any unusual characteristics of adverse events following administration of BNT162b2,”​ says a statement from the committee, following the review with experts from the European Medicines Agency and Uppsala Monitoring Centre.
