– In a nursing home in Germany, a 90-year-old man died an hour after getting the Corona 19 vaccine, and authorities began investigating.
On the 14th (local time), according to local media such as Bilt, a 90-year-old man suddenly collapsed within an hour after receiving the Corona 19 vaccine at a nursing home in Beihegundifholz, Lower Saxony.
This grandmother was generally healthy, and the medical staff observed her health status for 20 minutes immediately after the COVID-19 vaccine.
Later, the grandmother called her relatives and even boasted that they had been vaccinated against Corona 19, but soon collapsed, Director Cortborghoff told Bild.
At the site, two doctors and two emergency medical personnel tried to recover through artificial respiration, but the grandmother died.
For accurate analysis of the cause of death, the body was handed over to the Paul Erlich Institute (PEI), a German vaccine regulatory agency.
“It is up to experts to decide whether or not to perform an autopsy,” said Bokhof. “We know that the PEI is considering nine similar deaths.”
Meanwhile, Germany and 27 member states of the European Union (EU) began vaccinating Pfizer and Bioentech’s Corona 19 vaccine at the end of last month. Germany recently reinforced the blockade, but the spread of Corona 19 continues, with more than 1,000 deaths per day in the recent fourth day.
