Switzerland stops COVID-19 vaccines due to safety concerns
Reports of suspected adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines in Switzerland [...] Since the concluding standard report on adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccines in Switzerland was published at the end of February 2023, an additional 720 suspicion reports have been evaluated. For an estimated 17 million vaccine doses1 administered to date in Switzerland, Swissmedic received a total of 17,575 reports of suspected reactions in connection with the COVID-19 vaccines up to 30 June 2024. [...] The COVID-19 vaccines are also listed in the annual vaccinovigilance report on the safety of vaccines used in Switzerland. As soon as new, relevant findings are available, Swissmedic will provide information via the usual channels (drug safety communications, Swissmedic Vigilance News, DHPC).
