Tennessee nurse collapses on live tv after covid-19 vaccine


Live TV cameras captured the dramatic moment a Tennessee nurse collapsed moments after receiving the new COVID vaccine in the US.

Channel 3 news was broadcasting from CHI Memorial hospital in Tennessee Valley on Thursday local time to record employees receiving their first doses.

It was a day for the history books and one of the first to receive the vaccine was critical care unit nurse Tiffany Dover - who told of how the jab was giving hope to the people of America.

'It's really... I'm sorry I'm feeling really dizzy. I'm sorry...' she said as she suddenly started feeling unwell before dropping to the ground with two colleagues rushing to catch her.

After recovering, she and her colleagues insisted it had nothing to do with the vaccine but a condition that causes her to collapse when she feels pain.


'It is a reaction that can happen very frequently with any vaccine or shot,'  said Dr. Jesse Tucker, Medical Director of critical care medicine at CHI Memorial, who also received the vaccine.
