A recent report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded that no child deaths have been definitively linked to COVID-19 vaccines. This analysis comes in response to claims made by former FDA vaccine chief Dr. Vinay Prasad, who suggested that the agency had identified at least 10 unreported child deaths associated with the vaccines. The FDA's review examined 96 reports of child deaths submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) up to August 14, 2025. The report found that none of the deaths were classified as 'certainly' linked to vaccination, although five were deemed 'possible' and two 'probably' related. However, the FDA noted that these classifications do not guarantee a causal link, as alternative explanations for the deaths could exist. Most of the reported cases involved myocarditis, a rare heart condition that has been associated with COVID vaccinations, particularly among adolescent boys. The FDA has previously updated vaccine labels to reflect this risk. Experts agree that while the report was thorough, further research is needed to understand the potential risks associated with COVID vaccinations.
