Mexico doctor hospitalised after receiving Pfizer vaccine: Reports
Mexico City/IBNS: A 32-year-old female doctor practising in Mexico City was hospitalised after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
The doctor, whose name has not been released, was admitted to the intensive care unit of a public hospital after she experienced seizures, difficulty in breathing and a skin rash, Reuters reported.
"The initial diagnosis is encephalomyelitis," the Health Ministry said in a statement released on Friday night.
Encephalomyelitis is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
The ministry said the doctor has a history of allergic reactions.
The ministry also said there is no evidence from clinical trials that anyone has developed an inflammation of the brain after the vaccine's application.
