Israel is examining a number of cases where people experience heartburn after receiving the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.

Health officials are investigating whether the cases are related to the incident, which has been committed by more than five million people, Corona commissioner Nachman Ash said on Sunday in an interview with Radio 103FM. The government has identified 62 cases of heart muscle inflammation, or coronary heart disease, Channel 12 reported last week, citing a study by the Department of Health.

The situation has improved for one in 100,000 people who have experienced the incident, and the incidence rate for men aged 18 to 30 was one in 20,000. Two people have died and others have survived.

Studies do not show with certainty whether there is a high mortality rate or an increase in cases of coronary heart disease, the Department of Health said in response to questions via email.

"It seems that the benefits of the drug are so great that even if we could find a link between other cases and the vaccine, there would be no reason to take any action regarding the vaccine," Ash said in an interview. The information has been passed on to Pfizer, he said.

Pfizer is aware of Israeli cases of myocardium, the company said in a statement. We have never seen a much higher rate of myocardium than expected in the general population, "he said. established. There is no evidence at this time to conclude that myocardium is a risk factor associated with the use of the Pfizer-Biotech vaccine, the company said.
