A teenager with no underlying health conditions died in South Korea after having received a Covid-19 Pfizer shot, authorities have reported, saying it’s the first such case of a vaccinated minor dying.
A probe into the teenager’s death has been launched, the country’s major news agency Yonhap reported on Saturday, citing health authorities. The unnamed child was a high schooler who was vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine in mid-August.
Specifying that the young vaccine recipient had no underlying health conditions, authorities said the teenager died in late September. The death marks the first reported fatal case among vaccinated teenagers, officials added.
