The claim is false.
Keyword searches found that the official in the misleading clip was Tanja Erichsen, the head of the Danish Medicines Agency.
A longer video was posted by TRT World here
on YouTube on April 15, 2021, headlined: “Denmark official faints during Covid-19 conference.”
The video’s caption reads: “The head of the Danish Medicines Agency, Tanja Erichsen, fainted during a press conference on live TV over the country’s decision to stop using the AstraZeneca vaccine.
“The agency later announced that she was taken to the hospital as a precaution and has since recovered.”
Below is a screenshot comparison between the misleading clip (L) and TRT World’s video (R):
