New Zealand reports what authorities say was the country's first recorded death linked to the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. An independent monitoring board considered the woman’s death was due to myocarditis, known to be a rare side effect of the vaccine.

The information was released by the health ministry following a review by an independent Covid-19 vaccine safety monitoring board of the death of a woman after receiving the vaccine. The ministry's statement did not give the woman's age., which is known to be a rare side effect of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, the statement said. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle that can limit the organ's ability to pump blood and can cause changes in heartbeat rhythms.

The case has been referred to the coroner and the cause of death has not yet been determined, the health ministry said. The board also noted that there were other medical issues occurring at the same time which may have influenced the outcome following vaccination. So far the Pfizer/BioNTech, Janssen and AstraZeneca vaccines have been provisionally approved by New Zealand authorities. However, the Pfizer vaccine is the only vaccine that has been approved for rollout to the public.
