A doctor who was allergic to penicillin as a child had suffered a strong reaction to Covid-19 vaccine in the first three hours after the injection, but was now out of danger, a spokesman said on Wednesday.
Taweesilp Visanuyothin, spokesman for the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration, said the incident occured on Tuesday.
Senior health officials had discussed the matter on Wednesday and agreed a system was needed to better ensure the safety of Covid-19 vaccine recipients, who were already being monitored for the first 30 minutes after inoculation. There should also be a follow up over the next few hours.
