The first person died in Slovakia following vaccination against the novel coronavirus, announced State Institute for Drug Supervision (SUKL) spokesperson Magdalena Jurkemikova on Tuesday. The person was a 79-year-old man who suffered from several chronic diseases, which were identified by autopsy as the main cause of his death. However, moderate side effects of the vaccination - fever and weakness - contributed to the overall deterioration of this patient's health condition, said Jurkemikova, adding that similar cases have appeared in several European countries.
