FRANKFURT, June 25 (Reuters) - An appeals court in the

German city of Stuttgart on Tuesday rejected damage claims

against a physician who was accused of not warning of alleged

harm from a COVID-19 vaccine she administered.

The higher regional court in the city of Stuttgart said in a

statement said the verdict was the first such ruling by a German

appeals court.

It said that a trainee in a care facility did not succeed

with her claims seeking at least 50,000 euros ($53,545.00) in

injury awards plus unspecified damages claims from a physician

who administered two shots by the BioNTech-Pfizer

alliance.

A slew of damage claims in German courts against COVID

vaccine makers, citing alleged side effects, have so far not

succeeded.
