This is first time MEDCINE is being held libile in Germany
The German biotechnology company BioNTech will have to defend itself against a lawsuit from a woman who alleges that its COVID vaccine caused her to suffer damaging side effects.
Hamburg regional court was expected to hear the case on Monday, but the proceedings were canceled shortly before they were set to begin. It is unclear when a new date for the trial will be assigned.
The trial is the first to deal with such allegations regarding a COVID vaccine in Germany. Several hundred damages lawsuits have been filed or are in preparation nationwide, according to figures from lawyers' offices.
BioNTech says more than 64 million people in Germany and some 1.5 billion across the world received its Comirnaty vaccine, which it developed along with US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. It has been the most commonly used jab in the Western world during the coronavirus pandemic.
