A German resident has filed a lawsuit against BioNTech due to alleged negative side effects of its COVID-19 vaccine.

According to the plaintiff, who has not made her name public, she suffered from swollen extremities, fatigue, sleeping disorder, and pain in the upper body following vaccination. The first case hearing was scheduled at a regional court in Hamburg on Monday.
