New Zealand’s health ministry on Monday reported the country’s first death linked to the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

The Ministry of Health, in a release, said it wants to “ensure that health care professionals and consumers remain vigilant and are aware of the signs of myocarditis and pericarditis” after a woman died following the administration of the Comirnaty Pfizer vaccine.
