Singapore Probes Boy’s Collapse after Vaccine Jab...
Singapore’s expert committee on Covid-19 vaccination on Monday advised people, especially adolescents and younger men, to avoid exercise or strenuous physical activity for one week after getting any mRNA vaccine dose. The move came as the Ministry of Health was probing the collapse of a 16-year-old boy six days after his first Pfizer-BioNTech jab, just after a strenuous gym workout.
He was in critical condition at the National University Hospital after a suspected cardiac arrest. Previously, on June 11, the committee had stated that adolescents and younger men should avoid strenuous physical activity for a week after their second dose of the mRNA vaccines. The earlier advice did not relate to the first dose.
