Viral Video! Nurse collapses after taking Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine shot

A video of a nurse fainting after taking Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine shot has gone viral on social media. 

The incident took place at a Chattanooga hospital in Tennessee, the United States where the nurse fainted at a press conference after receiving the vaccine shot. The nurse, Tiffany Dover, was addressing a press conference when she lifted her hand to her head, apologized, and said she was feeling dizzy.

According to Boomlive report, the nurse said she has a history of passing out. "I have a history of having an overactive vagal response, and so with that, if I have pain from anything -- hangnail, or if I stub a toe, I can just pass out," Tiffany Dover said, according to a video from the WRCB Chattanooga TV channel. "I have passed out probably six times in the past six weeks... it's common for me," Dover said.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says it has received reports of people fainting after nearly all vaccines, and scientists believe it is due to pain or anxiety associated with the vaccination process.
