Anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine is a rare side effect, and its development does not mean poor-quality vaccine, said the National Center for Diseases Control and Public Health (NCDC).

According to the NCDC, Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction to venom, food, or medication. “Anaphylaxis causes a series of symptoms, including a rash, low pulse, and shock, which is known as anaphylactic shock that can be fatal,” the NCDC said.

The 27-year-old nurse from the Akhaltsikhe region developed an anaphylactic reaction to the COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine on March 18 and fell into a coma.

The nurse was transported to Tbilisi following an anaphylactic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine 30 minutes after the AstraZeneca shot. She died at the First University Clinic on March 19.
