In a shocking incident that has raised questions over the safety of Covid-19 vaccine, a health worker in Portugal died two days after getting the Pfizer vaccine. As per Daily Mail, 41-year-old Sonia Acevedo suffered a ‘sudden death’ at home on New Year’s Day 48 hours after receiving the jab. Notably, Sonia had no prior health conditions, and did not suffer from any adverse side-effects after being vaccinated.
Mother-of-two, Sonia worked in paediatrics at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology in Porto. The coronavirus vaccine developed by Pfizer was given to Sonia on December 30 as she was a frontline health worker.
Shocked at her death, Acevedo’s father Abilio Acevedo, urged authorities to probe into her demise and said he ‘wanted answers’.
