Greece recurs death after second dose of Pfizer vaccine
A few days ago, a 61-year-old male doctor from Katerini, a city in northern Greece, died after receiving a second dose of the new crown vaccine. The man received the second dose of vaccination on June 19, and the vaccine was Pfizer’s new crown vaccine.
He felt unwell on the afternoon of the 20th and was rushed to the hospital. Although the medical staff rescued him, unfortunately the man was eventually pronounced dead. It is reported that the man did not suffer from underlying diseases during his lifetime. The forensic doctor is currently investigating the cause of his death.
This is not the first time that Greece has died after receiving the second dose of Pfizer vaccine. On the morning of June 18, a 57-year-old Greek woman was vaccinated with the second dose of Pfizer vaccine. Ten minutes after receiving the second dose of Pfizer vaccine, she felt burning pain in her chest and back in the observation area of the hospital, then fainted and suffered a cardiac arrest. The on-site medical staff immediately implemented rescue measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intubation on her, but after one hour of hard work, the woman still died.
In addition, Greece has recently recorded more than 20 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis, but it is not clear whether these cases are related to the mRNA new crown vaccine. Both Pfizer and Modena’s new crown vaccines are mRNA vaccines. (Cai Ling)
