The 43-year-old woman was hospitalised a day after taking her COVID-19 booster shot.


SINGAPORE: A 43-year-old woman who received a COVID-19 vaccine booster died about four days later, a coroner's court heard on Friday (Apr 14).

The cause of Madam Ontal Charlene Vargas' death was determined to be myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart.

State Coroner Adam Nakhoda said on Friday it was likely that the myocarditis was related to the COVID-19 booster vaccine that Mdm Vargas had received, and ruled that her death was a medical misadventure.

Mdm Vargas, a Filipina, received her Pfizer-BioNTech booster on Dec 9, 2021. During the 42 minutes of observation at the clinic, she did not exhibit any adverse effects.
