A 35-year-old nurse from Kolkata was admitted to the critical care unit (CCU) after she lost consciousness, minutes after taking the dose of COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday, officials said.


Few minutes after the administration of the vaccine at Dr BC Roy Hospital, the nurse started trembling, complained of uneasiness and fainted in the observation room.

She was then immediately 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, a senior health department official, who is also a doctor, told PTI.

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, he added.

Many medical tests were conducted on the 35-year-old and is currently kept on oxygen support due to her ailing asthma illness.

The nurse is one amongst the 15,707 beneficiaries who were vaccinated across West Bengal during the launch of biggest vaccination drive across the country.

Thirteen other ‘Adverse Event Following Immunisation’ (AEFI) cases were reported from various parts of the state but those were not serious, officials said.
