Young female dies after receiving Pfizer's vaccine

VIETNAM: A 23-year-old lady died after receiving her second Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination shot in northern Lao Cai Province.

"The patient died from grade 4 anaphylactic reaction following Covid-19 vaccination due to inherent properties of vaccinations," said the provincial health department, adding that her death was unrelated to the vaccination process, transportation, storage, or use of the vaccine.

After her first shot, she didn't exhibit any unusual reactions. After receiving the second shot, she spent 30 minutes at the immunisation facility for health monitoring and began to experience exhaustion, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, and nausea. She was examined on the spot by medical personnel before being moved to Sa Pa Town General Hospital. She was treated by a team from Lao Cai Provincial General Hospital. She, on the other hand, died on the same day.

This is the country's fifth COVID-19 immunisation death due to an overreaction to the Pfizer vaccine, with the other victims being children aged 12 to 16.
