This is the terrifying moment that a nurse who had just received the coronavirus vaccine at a Tennessee hospital told reporters she was dizzy and then fainted.
Nurses director Tiffany Dover was hit by Pfizer-BioNTech on Thursday at CHI Memorial Hospital in Chattanooga and gave a press conference when she started dating, according to WTVC-9.
“All my employees, you know, are happy to receive the vaccine. We’re in the COVID unit, so as you know, my team will get the first chances to get the vaccine, ”Dover said.
“And I know it’s really … I’m sorry, I feel dizzy,” he continued.
One of the doctors behind her caught her when she fainted about 17 minutes after receiving the shot.
“It hit me all of a sudden, I felt like I was starting. I felt a little disoriented, but now I feel good and the pain in my arm is no longer there,” Dover said after recovering.
Doctors said the episode was not related to the vaccine ingredients.
Dover told WTVC-9 that he has a condition in which he often faints when he feels pain.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also said fainting can occur after various types of vaccinations and medical procedures, usually due to pain or anxiety.
