Brandenburg: Only seven Corona vaccine damage recognized-what now?

Brandenburg, Deutschland - In Brandenburg, the number of recognized Corona vaccination damage is still classified as extremely low. According to rbb24 , of the over 1.7 million vaccinations in Brandenburg, only seven cases of the so-called Post-Vac-syndrome have been recognized. By the end of April there were more than 400 applications for recognition of a vaccine damage, 316 of which have already been decided. The majority of these applications, a total of 286, were rejected, mostly due to a lack of evidence of a causal connection between vaccination and health complaints.

Currently, 84 people benefit from pension benefits due to a recognized vaccination damage. Of these cases, two people receive monthly compensation payments, while in five other cases a connection with the vaccination was determined, but there was no sufficient impairment for a monthly payment. Minister of Health Britta Müller emphasizes the importance of sensitive use with the people concerned and demands more intensive research.

demand for more research

In addition, Müller makes it clear that the existing applications are intensively accompanied by pension medical exams in order to assess the claims fairly. In conversation with affected people, such as the nurse Claudia Schneider from Potsdam, who suffers from inexplicable muscle pain after her vaccination, she said that it was time to listen to those affected. Schneider reported that her symptoms, such as rapid heartbeat and sweat, occurred about two weeks after vaccination, and an MRI showed inflammation on the tendon and muscle approaches, but could not be determined. Schneider is convinced that their symptoms are a result of the vaccination.

The Minister of Health plans to bring the need for further research on Long Covid and Post-VAC syndrome to the upcoming Health Ministers' Conference. Müller also calls for new help structures for those affected, since they often have difficulties in rural areas, such as Dennis Hehlgans, a representative of the affected people, describes.

A look at the data situation

In connection with the security of Covid-19-vaccines, according to the paul-ehrlich-institut until May 2023, a total of 1,547 reports of suspicion of side effects. These often clump up complaints that are referred to as long/post-covid-like. It should be noted that these reports are not identical to proven side effects and in many cases no clear clinical information can be provided.

Although Germany has carried out a large number of over 192 million Covid 19 vaccinations, the detention rate for suspected cases is less than one per 100,000 vaccinations (0.73/100,000). In addition, the analysis does not show any risk signals for the occurrence of long/post-covid-like symptoms, and there is no medically plausible indication of a direct connection between symptoms and the vaccination, according to the Paul Ehrlich Institute.
