A 32-year-old female doctor was admitted to the ICU after receiving the Pfizer Bio N tech Covid-19 vaccine a few days ago. Mexican authorities said that they are inspecting the issues after it was brought to their notice.
However, Mexican authorities have not revealed the name of the doctor who was admitted to ICU in public hospital in the Northern state of Nuevo Leon. According to the reports, that doctor was suffering from skin allergy and difficulty in breathing after she received the Pfizer dose.
In a statement released on Friday the health ministry said, “The original diagnosis is encephalomyelitis”. Encephalomyelitis is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.
Furthermore, the doctor has a past record of allergic reactions. The ministry clarifies that there is no confirmation from clinical trials that after receiving Pfizer vaccine anyone would develop Encephalomyelitis.
Victor Hugo Borja, an IMSS director, was quoted as saying by Reuters that the admitted doctor was reacting positively to the cure and no further seizures have been reported. Some of his lost muscle strength has also recovered, according to the Borja.
“Today, she’s been able to sit up and it’s possible she’ll be discharged in the following days,” said Borja at a news conference.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that they are observing the allergic reactions of Pfizer Inc and Moderna Inc. The CDC has also requested the public not to take the second dose if they are suffering from any serious sensitivity.
