department news release.State health officials said the patient was an 80-year-old female with underlying conditions. She had been hospitalized for 14 days after completing her two-dose Pfizer vaccination before she died."We are saddened to learn of this occurrence.
While no deaths occurred in vaccinated individuals in the clinical trials, we understand that no vaccine or medication is 100% effective when used by millions of people.
This does not negate the importance of vaccination and all of the positive effects of vaccination. Our state is approaching 50% of the total population being fully vaccinated and we need to keep that momentum.
