Nurse passes out

A nurse explains what happened when she feinted getting her Covid-19 vaccine.

No.

Memorial hospital nurse manager tiffany dover was one of the first people at the hospital to receive the vaccine.

Shortly after receiving the vaccine she fainted while speaking to the media.

She says fainting is a fairly common occurrence for her and not a side effect of the vaccine.

I have a history of having an overactive vegal response.

If i have pain from anything hangnail or stub my toe i can just pass out.

Dr. bob armstrong explains passing out due to her condition is not uncommon.

Stressful situations can be physical and shot with the pain associated with it, getting injured, but i can also be set up by emotional stress.

I feel fine now and this is, i have passed out probably six times in the past six weeks.

He says vaccinations save lives and even though the vaccine is just become available to frontline workers, these aren't the first people receiving the vaccine.

This is not something that just came off the assembly line yesterday.

The pfizer vaccine was tested over 50,000 volunteers.

He says as someone who has practiced medicine for over 35 years he is full support of getting the vaccination and he will be getting it.

To me it's a no brainer, i'm looking at a disease which is killed millions of people in this world.

So if we have something or effectiveness in the studies is over 90% why would i not want to protected against some thing where i've got a nine out of 10 or greater chance of being protected in the future and protect my love ones.

Once again she repeatedly said she feels fine and says she is happy she was able to recieve the vaccine news 12 made the decision to not include her fainting in our vaccine story yesterday, because the story was on the vaccination--- not someone's previous medical condition.
