Volunteers develop Facial Paralysis after COVID-19 Vaccine

Lahore, 10th December: Four volunteers developed facial paralysis after getting the shot of Pfizer Vaccine for COVID-19.

According to reports, a massive concern regarding health safety has risen after the people in the United Kingdom starting vaccinating against the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators, four volunteers who have been given the vaccine shots during the trial stage have developed Bell’s Palsy.

Bell’s palsy or Facial Paralysis is a medical condition that causes one half of the face to droop.

The drug regulator has maintained that it was not clear what led to Bell’s Palsy in the aforesaid volunteers. According to sources, the regulators have asked doctors to monitor the side-effects of the vaccine constantly.

Earlier, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla had shown doubts if the vaccine will help stop the transmission of the infection.

During an interview with NBC’s Lestor Holt, the company’s CEO was asked if a vaccinated individual can still transmit the virus on to others. To which, he had replied, “I think this is something that needs to be examined. We are not certain about that right now with what we know.”

A report also raises concern that the company has not assessed in its trials how the vaccine plays a role in the transmission of the disease.

Earlier, it was reported by Baaghi TV, that the UK became the first country to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, with the UK regulator Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) granting a temporary authorisation for its emergency use.

Yesterday, Britain’s medicines regulator issued a warning for people with “significant” history of allergic reactions to medicines, food or vaccines to not to have the Pfizer/BioNTech jab, just a day after the first set of patients were injected their first of two doses of the vaccine against COVID-19.

As per reports, the warning came after two National Health Service (NHS) workers experienced “anaphylactoid reaction” symptoms shortly after being injected, but are now said to be recovering well.
