Key Excerpts

"This study is the first to demonstrate an increase in general practice presentations of vertigo following mRNA vaccines (RI = 1.40, P <.001), and tinnitus following both the Vaxzevria® adenovirus vector and mRNA vaccines (RI = 2.25, P <.001 and 1.53, P <.001 respectively)...

Healthcare providers and vaccinees should be alert to potential audiovestibular complaints after COVID-19 vaccination. Our analysis highlights the importance of using large real-world datasets to gather reliable evidence for public health decision making."
