The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) is the Irish agency responsible for regulating medicines and devices for Ireland. The HPRA is also responsible for recording the number of adverse reactions and illnesses experienced by vaccinated people.
According to their latest the HPRA report of 15th July, a total of 11445 adverse reactions have been recorded. That’s up 1705 from the last monthly update.
The HPRA report outlines an important safety update on mRNA vaccines;
“The EMA’s safety committee has issued new safety advice, on very rare cases of myocarditis
(inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the membrane around
the heart), which have been reported following vaccination with the mRNA vaccines,
Comirnaty® and Spikevax® (previously Moderna)”
“The HPRA receives reports based on suspicion that an adverse experience may be associated with vaccination. This does not mean the vaccine caused the adverse experience. As such, these are referred to as ‘suspected’ side effects.”
The latest HPRA report on adverse reactions was published on 15th July 2021 and can be read here.
