A resident of Kaduna State known as Hanatu Tanko narrated how she bled from the nose and vomited blood after receiving COVID-19 vaccine.
Based on a video that was trending online, the woman, who sought treatment at Ashmed Specialist Hospital, Kaduna narrated her experience.
Although the woman said she took the vaccine at Kaduna South Secretariat, many linked it to the hospital.
It was reported by the Chief Medical Doctor, Dr Patrick Echobu, on Thursday in a news conference that the woman was admitted to the Hospital six days after she had been vaccinated somewhere else.
The CMD said, “On behalf of Ashmed Specialist Hospital, we want to strongly distance ourselves and condemn the video going around of one of our patients, who presented herself on the 30th of March claiming to be vomiting blood and having bleeding from the mouth and nose.
“We received her as a patient after she had vaccination six days prior to presentation in this hospital and unknown to us, she granted somebody an audience which she posted on the media.
“We want to say that we are not connected with the information on the media. I just want to let you know also that all the staff of Ashmed Specialist Hospital have collected their own vaccine.”
There were concerns across the world about the safety of the Astrazeneca vaccine currently being administered in Nigeria after some persons suffered side effects.
