Side effects of COVID-19 vaccines in Switzerland – update

Bern, 26.3.2021 - 862 reports of suspected adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines in Switzerland evaluated: As at 23 March 2021, Swissmedic, in collaboration with the regional pharmacovigilance centres (in particular with the Ticino EOC reference centre), has evaluated 862 reports of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADR) to COVID-19 vaccinations in Switzerland. The reports corroborate the side effects profile identified during the authorisation studies and described in the medicinal product information. There is no evidence to date of any new safety signals, so the positive ratio of benefits to risks of the vaccines currently in use is still the same.
