Pfizer, Moderna and Astrazeneca: here are the adverse reactions of vaccines

Pfizer, Moderna and Astrazeneca: here are the adverse reactions of vaccines

All comparisons on adverse reactions of the Astrazeneca, Pfizer-Biontech and Moderna vaccines

The Astrazeneca vaccine has been suspended in several European countries pending new indications from the EMA. The reason? Relevant adverse reactions, with some suspected deaths also in Italy that are being verified and investigated to ascertain any cause and effect links.

A suspension, however, which does not seem to be justified by the numbers (at least apparently).

Pfizer records a far greater number of adverse events, as well as the number of deaths from heart disorders that could be linked to the vaccine.

Moderna, the least widely distributed vaccine, resulted in 96 suspected deaths. All the details.

PFIZER: THE MOST DISTRIBUTED VACCINE

The Pfizer-Biontech vaccine, approved in December 2020 and considered to all intents and purposes the first weapon against Covid-19, is the most widely distributed in the Member States, according to ECDC data (represented in the graph by a line). Second for Astrazeneca distribution, third (at a distance) Modern.

PFIZER: THE GREATER NUMBER OF ADVERSE REACTIONS

And Pfizer's is also the one that has recorded the highest number of adverse reactions to date: 102,100, according to Ema data (data updated to March 13, 2021).

If we focus on cardiac disorders, a problem for which the Astrazeneca vaccine has come into the spotlight, there are 4,636 adverse reactions and 276 suspected deaths.

THE NUMBERS OF ASTRAZENECA ADVERSE REACTIONS

In Europe, the Astrazeneca vaccine, suspended in several states including Italy pending investigations launched by the Prosecutor's Office and the ruling of the EMA, caused 54,571 adverse reactions ( Ema data ).

Of these, about 2080 are linked to heart disease, with 63 suspected deaths.

THE MODERN NUMBERS

The doses of Moderna's vaccine distributed in European countries are much lower. The vaccine developed by the American company caused 5,939 adverse reactions.

There are 501 attributable to cardiac disorders, of which 96 fatal (a number higher than that of Astrazeneca).
