SINGAPORE: The death of a 28-year-old man 21 days after his COVID-19 vaccination has been ruled a medical misadventure, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday (Feb 17).
It is the first death related to COVID-19 vaccination locally, MOH said in a press release.
The Bangladeshi national received his first dose of the Moderna/Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine on Jun 18, 2021, and died on Jul 9 after collapsing at his workplace earlier that day.
The State Coroner on Wednesday certified the man’s cause of death as myocarditis, said MOH.
