A nurse in the US passed out during a press conference on Thursday (December 17), shortly after receiving a Covid-19 vaccine that has been cleared for use by the US Food and Drug Administration. USA (FDA).
However, he later clarified that he has a pre-existing condition that causes him to pass out when he feels even mild pain.
Nursing director Tiffany Dover was speaking to reporters in Tennessee after being one of the first staff members to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine when she suddenly collapsed.
She was seen to appear disoriented after speaking and rubbed the side of her head before falling to the ground.

She later told WTVC-TV NewsChannel 9: “It hit me all of a sudden, I could feel it coming closer. I felt a little disoriented, but now I feel fine, and the pain in my arm is gone.”
In another interview, she explained that she has a history of “having an overreactive vagal response,” “and so if I have pain from something, a nail or if I stub my toe, I can pass out.”
Dover was one of five healthcare workers at CHI Memorial Hospital who received the vaccine. The other health workers reported that the process proceeded without incident.
A hospital spokeswoman confirmed to Reuters that the nurse “recovered quickly” after the incident.
Reuters Fact Check has discredited a message circulating on social media that the video is evidence that the vaccine “will lead to mass genocide.”
[[nid:513241]]Reuters has also reported false information circulating on social media that hundreds of volunteers have died after a clinical trial of Covid-19 vaccines.
According to the FDA, the most common side effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine are pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, and fever.
Some people have reportedly had allergic reactions after receiving the vaccine. As a result, the FDA has warned that while the vaccine is safe for allergy sufferers, people who have previously had severe allergic reactions to the vaccines or the ingredients in this particular vaccine should avoid the injection.
In Singapore, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been approved by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), and the first batch is expected to arrive here in late December.
