SINGAPORE: The cause of an 81-year-old man’s death was ischaemic heart disease and not because of COVID-19 vaccination complications, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Thursday (Apr 15).
The Health Sciences Authority’s (HSA) Forensic Medicine Division reported that post-mortem, there was “no evidence of acute anaphylaxis or an allergic reaction at the injection site of the COVID-19 vaccine”, the Health Ministry added in a press release.
