[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Two cases of miscarriage occurred in Hong Kong after receiving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.


According to local media on the 15th, the Hong Kong Department of Health announced this the day before and stated, "An investigation is underway."


Both women who miscarried are 32 years old. Each confirmed their pregnancy two days after vaccination; one woman miscarried three days after vaccination, and the other eight days after.


The Hong Kong Department of Health said, "At this time, it is not believed that their miscarriages are related to the vaccination."


In Hong Kong, pregnancy status is confirmed with vaccine recipients before vaccination.



The Department of Health stated, "The Pfizer vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women unless they are in a high-risk group for COVID-19." It added, "Pregnant women should not receive the Chinese Sinovac vaccine."
