ICMR Study Finds No Link Between Covid-19 Vaccines and Heart Attack Risk in Young Adults
A nationwide study by the Indian Council of Medical Research across 25 tertiary hospitals found no evidence linking Covid-19 vaccines, including Covishield and Covaxin, to increased risk of thrombotic events or heart attacks among adults aged 18-45 in India. The research identified traditional risk factors such as smoking, pre-existing conditions, family history, and prior severe Covid-19 infection as primary contributors. The study underscores the vaccines' protective benefits against severe disease and calls for focus on established health risks.
