Vaccination has played a big role in reducing coronainfection and the mortality rate caused by it. However, some reports have expressed apprehension that vaccination has increased the risk of many serious diseases, not only this, cases of heart attack and death in adults have also increased due to it. Can the Covid vaccine cause the risk of diseases and untimely death?
In this regard, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has assured the people that the vaccines are completely safe and are not causing any problems. Based on a study, ICMR said, “Covid-19 vaccination is completely safe, vaccination cannot be held responsible for increased mortality in adults.
Unexplained health problems such as hospitalization due to COVID-19, family history of sudden death, and lifestyle factors have been found to increase the risk of sudden death. Vaccination helps reduce the risk of corona infection and the severity caused by it and it is also completely safe.
Increased deaths in adults, not due to vaccination
Researchers conducted a study to understand how safe the Covid vaccine is. The study, titled "Factors associated with sudden death among adults aged 18-45 years in India", found that vaccination did not increase the risk of death in any way.
Citing the same ICMR study, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said in Gujarat on Sunday that people who have had severe Covid problems should continue to make efforts to prevent problems like heart attacks and cardiac arrest. Such people need to avoid strenuous activities for one or two years.
What did the study find?
The study, conducted to understand the reasons behind the sudden increase in deaths among healthy young adults in India, looked at data from healthy people aged 18-45 years who had no underlying health problems before Covid, although in October, Died suddenly due to unexplained causes between 2021 and March 2023.
Researchers found that most of the deceased had some kind of medical history, smoking, alcohol consumption, or habit of high-intensity physical activities.
Covid-19 vaccines safe
In the analysis of the study, health experts said that the risk of sudden death in adults has not increased due to Covid-19 vaccination. Vaccination has reduced the risk of sudden deaths in adults. Factors that increased the risk of sudden death included hospitalization due to severe cases of COVID-19 and certain behaviors such as excessive drinking and intense physical activity shortly before death.
What is the conclusion of the study?
In the conclusion of the research, the team of scientists said that the increasing figures of sudden deaths in adults in recent years prompted the need for this study. Concern has increased in the minds of people about whether the Covid-19 vaccine is the reason for increased deaths. However, our research has completely rejected all such apprehensions. Vaccines are not only safe but have also been found to be beneficial in protecting against the disease caused by corona.
