Since the beginning of the vaccine rollout to 7 November 2021, about 36.8 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered.
The TGA has found 9 reports of death that were linked to immunisation from 656 reports received and reviewed.
The overwhelming majority of deaths reported occurred in people aged 65 years and older.
The deaths linked to immunisation occurred after the first dose of Vaxzevria (AstraZeneca) – 8 were TTS cases and one was a case of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
Most deaths were coincidental and not due to the vaccine.
