The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently conducted two analyses that have raised potential health concerns related to the COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna. However, it is important to note that these links are not definitive and require further investigation.
The first analysis revealed a slight increase in stroke risk among elderly individuals who received a high-dose flu shot alongside the Pfizer or Moderna bivalent COVID-19 booster vaccines. This risk was found to be most pronounced in adults over 85 years of age. However, the FDA suggests that this risk could potentially stem from the flu vaccine alone and may not be directly related to the COVID-19 shots.

In absolute terms, there were an additional 3.1 strokes per 100,000 doses following the Pfizer and flu shots and 3.3 strokes per 100,000 doses of the flu and Moderna shots. Despite these findings, the risk of suffering a stroke following a COVID-19 infection is significantly higher than that after receiving a booster shot. Therefore, the benefits of vaccination still outweigh the small risk.
The second analysis conducted by the FDA indicated a small increase in the incidence of seizures in children aged two to five following COVID-19 vaccinations. However, the researchers urged caution in interpreting these results, noting that seizures in young children can often be caused by fevers prompted by either vaccination or infection.

The researchers also suggested that spacing out vaccines by a couple of weeks and administering them in different arms could be a straightforward way to mitigate these risks. They emphasized that the benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risk of severe illness and potential death.
Despite these findings, many parents have chosen not to vaccinate their children due to the fact that younger individuals typically fare better than older adults and seniors when infected with COVID-19. This decision, however, overlooks the potential long-term health implications of a COVID-19 infection.
In conclusion, while these analyses by the FDA have raised potential health concerns, it is crucial to remember that the links are not definitive and require further investigation.
The benefits of vaccination continue to outweigh the risks, and it remains essential for individuals to get vaccinated to protect themselves and others from the severe effects of COVID-19.
