Within a few minutes of taking the vaccine at Dr BC Roy Hospital, the nurse started trembling, complained of uneasiness, and fell unconscious in the observation room. She was rushed to nearby Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital and admitted to the CCU.

“That’s probably an allergic reaction. As of now, there is nothing to worry about her as this type of allergic reaction is common in many vaccinations,” doctor said.

The doctor further said “We have learnt that she has a history of being allergic to drugs. She is also a chronic asthma patient. In that way, this is normal though quite rare. We are checking whether this is related to the vaccination or not. Even if it is because of the inoculation then also there is nothing to worry about,”

Several medical tests are being conducted on the nurse. “Her blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels are normal. However, she is kept on oxygen support as she is an asthma patient. Specialised doctors are attending to her,” doctor said.
