MELAKA: The teen who is shown in a viral video having lost consciousness after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine, here, had experienced dizziness because he had skipped breakfast.
State Health and Anti-Drugs Committee chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman, who confirmed that the video had shown an incident at the Encore vaccination centre in Klebang today, said the teen experienced nausea as he did not take any breakfast before being inoculated.
"It (the incident) is true. The student had nausea because he skipped breakfast due to anxiety. However, his condition improved after having some food," he said when contacted.
The 36-second video that has gone viral shows the teenager who appeared to have suddenly lost consciousness outside the PPV and had to be helped to stand up.
He was brought back into the centre by a Rela member to seek medical attention.
