Advanced senior age also could be attributed to the development of the events. It is unlikely, that the events are related to the vaccine based on long standing illness of DEMENTIA. . Very limited information has been reported at this time. Further information is expected.; Reported Cause(s) of Death: death was acute Alzheimers
