An elderly American died after being vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at a specialized center in New York. And although the man’s state of health sharply worsened almost immediately after the injection, the doctors say that he did not die from an allergic reaction to the drug, reports ABC 7. TV channel.
Doctors, according to safety precautions, monitored the patient’s condition within 15 minutes after vaccination. The man, who was over 70 years old, became ill after about 25 minutes. He received timely assistance and was hospitalized, but he died in the hospital without regaining consciousness.
The head of the medical center on Manhattan Island stressed that the death that followed the vaccination is not necessarily its consequence. It is noted that the exact cause of the death of the patient has not yet been disclosed.
A similar case was reported at the end of January. The man who died a few hours after vaccination was sick with COVID-19.
