Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the NHS was made aware of the findings disclosed in July 2021 by the US Food and Drugs Administration of a potential increase in four types of serious adverse events in elderly people who had had the Pfizer covid-19 vaccine; and what action the NHS took as a result.

Following its initial findings in June 2021, the FDA issued a subsequent statement confirming that after detailed analysis, these events were not found to occur more frequently in the elderly people who received the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
