On April 6, one day before people ages 16 and up were eligible for the vaccine, Chloe MacVane,17, of South Portland received her first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at the Portland Expo because she works at a day care center. MacVane said she was nervous about receiving the vaccine, because it’s new and any long-term side effects are unknown, but she also felt relief and lucky to be one of the teens who could get it.
However, she died just five and a half hours later at Wythenshawe hospital.
Following a post-mortem Manchester University NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, carried out its own investigation into Evelyn’s death.
Dr Lucy Hartley, who was part of the investigating team, told the inquest that if Evelyn s care had been better it was likely she would have survived.
