That is awful. I’m sorry for your loss.

I hope that front-line medical professionals are not reluctant to report potential vaccine injuries. I would be surprised if they are; there are decades of training and experience around such reporting.

Unfortunately it is impossible to completely rule out the potential for injury or death even for routine vaccines, which is why (in the U.S. at least) there is a federally administered vaccine compensation program. In case you’re not aware, CDC-approved COVID vaccines are covered under a “countermeasures” program administered by HHS. Of course that is no comfort; it can’t bring back a loved one.

I hope this post does not come across as callous. I have some idea of what you are going through; I recently lost a parent too, although it was to cancer.
