Australian TGA Refutes Claims of COVID-19 Vaccine DNA Contamination, Citing 13 Billion Doses

Oct 18, 2024, 08:56 AM

The Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has addressed recent misinformation claiming that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are contaminated with excessive levels of DNA. The TGA clarified that the modified RNA synthesis pathway using the plasmid/E. coli system ensures no residual DNA by-product involvement at the endpoint, thus preventing adverse events. The TGA emphasized that neither it nor any international regulator has found a causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and any type of cancer. This statement comes amid various online allegations suggesting otherwise. Evidence from more than 13 billion doses supports the safety of these vaccines.
