The European Medicines Agency (EMA) states on its website that, by the end of May 2023, there had been nearly 1.7 million “spontaneous reports of suspected side effects, which translates into about 0.2 spontaneous reports for every 100 administered vaccine doses”.
It adds that there had been nearly 12,000 “spontaneous reports of fatal outcomes in the EU and EEA, which translates into about 0.001 reported fatal outcomes for every 100 administered vaccine doses”.
Nearly 768 million Covid vaccine doses had been administered in European Union and European Economic Area countries by the end of May 2023, the EMA added.
There is more detail about these statistics on my Changing Times website along with data from other adverse event databases.
The World Health Organisation updates its VigiBase data every Sunday.
The EudraVigilance data are usually updated on Mondays.
EudraVigilance doesn’t give a total of deaths reported after administration of each of the Covid-19 vaccines authorised for use in Europe, or a combined total. These figures can only be obtained by selecting reaction group categories, such as cardiac disorders, and adding up all the individual totals.
It also doesn’t give a total of adverse reaction reports; my 2,260,686 figure was obtained by adding up the totals for each individual vaccine.
