Since 27th December 2020, a mRNA vaccine from BioNTech / Pfizer (Comirnaty®) has been used across Germany. As of 12th March 2021, 286 fatalities of vaccinated German individuals were registered at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute with time intervals after vaccination between one hour to 40 days. From our catchment area in northern Germany, we have so far become aware of 22 deaths in connection with vaccination in a 5 week period (range: 0-28 days after vaccination). Three death cases after vaccination with Comirnaty®, which were autopsied at the Institute of Legal Medicine Hamburg, are presented in more detail. All three deceased had severe cardiovascular diseases, among other comorbidities, and died in the context of these pre-existing conditions, while one case developed a COVID-19 pneumonia as cause of death. Taking into account the results of the postmortem examination a causal relation between the vaccination and the death was not established in any case. If there are indications of an allergic reaction, histological and postmortem laboratory examinations should be performed subsequent to the autopsy (tryptase, total IgE, CRP, interleukin-6, complement activity C3/C5).
自 2020 年 12 月 27 日以来，德国一直在使用来自 BioNTech / Pfizer（辉瑞）的 mRNA 疫苗。截至 2021 年 3 月 12 日，Paul-Ehrlich 研究所登记了 286 名接种后死亡的德国个体，接种后时间间隔从 1 小时到 40 天不等。在我们位于德国北部的服务区内，我们在 5 周内（接种后 0-28 天）已发现 22 例与疫苗接种相关的死亡病例。在汉堡法医研究所对辉瑞疫苗接种后死亡的 3 例病例进行了更详细的尸检。所有三名死者都有严重的心血管疾病，还有其他合并症，并死于这些先前存在的疾病，而一例病例因 COVID-19 肺炎而死亡。考虑到尸检结果，在任何情况下都未发现疫苗接种与死亡之间存在因果关系。如果存在过敏反应的迹象，应在尸检后进行组织学和死后实验室检查（类胰蛋白酶、总 IgE、CRP、白细胞介素-6、补体活性 C3/C5）。
