Israeli man dies after being injected with US COVID-19 vaccine

A mass vaccination drive in Israel has been marred by a tragic incident

According to the press service of the Israeli Ministry of Health, the incident took place in the north of the country. The 75-year-old man died just a couple of hours after being vaccinated against the coronavirus infection.

The ministry did not specify which vaccine was used. It is known that Israel has approved the drugs from US companies Pfizer and Moderna.

It is alleged that the man had a long history of heart disease and some kind of malignancy, as well as suffering from several heart attacks. He was vaccinated on Monday, December 28, and died at his home just hours later. The cause of death is now being determined by experts.

As previously reported by News Front, the Pfizer vaccine has already become notorious for its side effects. They were detected in Britain, which was the first to approve the drug for mass application. The authorities soon had to advise against vaccination for those with a history of allergies.
