      Sounds like a vasovagal reaction without adequate supervision to prevent her from hitting her head if she fainted.https://twitter.com/phewview1/status/1398743745017884673 …

      As a 17 year old female, I’ve gotten dose 1 of the #Pfizer vaccine and fainted to the floor 3 minutes later. I shook uncontrollably, my face turned blue, blurred vision, and I concluded my experience with a concussion. Beware of your teen getting the vaccine ‼️ #covidvaccine pic.twitter.com/N1yJI35aoy

      The lesson from this incident is for vaccinators to be more careful watching people right after #CovidVaccine, so that if they faint they don't hit their head.

      Remember, vasovagal reactions after a needle stick are common, particularly among adolescent girls, but they happen in all age groups and both men and women.

          So it's not the polysorbate 80? ;)

          If a person is allergic to potato (nightshades), cassava, sugarcane (grass), corn(grass)- 🤔 think that's all the plants/ starches currently used to manufacture sorbitol used to mfg polysorbate 80- Then, they could possibly react to polysorbate 80. Ppl react to proteins & acids.

          "Smart code, blood draw"-- that phrase is heard over and over in this (and all) hospital(s). Even veterans pass out from a needle stick now and then!

          One time in medical school we were practicing putting in IVs and the other med student bent the needle as she tried to put it through my skin and *she* fainted.

          I’ll throw this one in... she must show us her vaccination card to confirm that she actually got it.

          I “fainted” as a 13 year old getting my contacts! They had me on a stool and I went straight back & hit my head on cabinets behind me. I had a concussion from it. 😒 So, yes! Watch out for those vasovagal reactions! And no stools.

          I fainted from the eye drops they use.. I'm allergic to them.

          1. Yep. There was guy in my year at school who fainted after every jab. We all knew he did it. The vaccination room was moved from a ground floor room to a first floor room in our third year for the (I think) TB jab. Nobody thought to stop him from walking straight out.

          2. He went out like a light on the stairs. Luckily he wasn't seriously hurt.
