Based on the current available information and temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the events, a causal relationship cannot be excluded. However, the events face injury, contusion, fall, chest injury and joint injury is unlikely related to m-RNA 1273.; Sender's Comments: Based on the current available information and temporal association between the use of the product and the start date of the events, a causal relationship cannot be excluded.
