Health worker dies two days after receiving Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine

LISBON – Two days after being administered the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine jab, a Portuguese health worker suffered a ‘sudden death’ at home on New Year’s Day.

Sonia Acevedo, a 41-year-old woman who worked in pediatrics at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology in Porto, had posted a picture of herself after getting the shot on Facebook.

Acevedo’s daughter Vania Figueredo said her mother had only complained about ‘normal’ discomfort in the area where she was jabbed but was otherwise fine.

“She had the Covid-19 vaccine but she didn’t have any symptoms. I don’t know what happened. I just want answers.” 
Acevedo’s employers confirmed that she received the vaccine on December 30 and said they had not been notified of any “undesirable effect”.

Acevedo was one of the 538 Porto IPO workers who received the Pfizer/BioNTech jab.
