While being interviewed over her receiving the coronavirus vaccine, a Tennessee nurse shocked the audience when she dramatically passed out.
Tiffany Dover later told spectators that she suffers a health condition that makes her lose consciousness when feeling pain.
Dover, who is the CHI Memorial Hospital nurse manager, was speaking to a local Chattanooga television about the vaccination process among frontline medical workers minutes after receiving it herself.
“All of my staff is excited to get the vaccine. We are in the Covid unit, so my team will be getting the first chances to get the vaccine, and I know that it’s really…I’m sorry I’m feeling really dizzy…” she said before collapsing.
Later on, the nurse explained that it was common for her to faint: “It just hit me all of the sudden, I could feel it coming on. I felt a little disoriented but I feel fine now, and the pain in my arm is gone.”
Dr. Jessee Tucker, a Medical Director at the hospital, said: “There is no reason to suspect that that’s due to the vaccine whatsoever.”
