A ninth-grade girl in Hanoi's Thuong Tin District died a day after getting her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, the second teenager to die following Covid vaccination in Vietnam.

 

She received the shot on Saturday morning as part of the city's campaign to vaccinate people under 18, and developed a high fever by night. Her family gave her fever medicines but to no avail.

 

She was taken to the Thuong Tin District General Hospital and soon transferred to Bach Mai Hospital, Hanoi’s biggest medical facility, but she died on Sunday morning, Nguyen Viet Binh, chairman of the district's Nhi Khe Commune, said.

It's Pfizer.

Quote

[from the linked article] The cause of death has been identified as anaphylactic shock.

As the ingredients in nearly all vaccines are very similar would this child have also been allergic to other vaccines?

 

 

I thought this type of shock was rapid onset- within minutes.

 

No, some people who are allergic to Pfizer might be ok with others.  It was a known issue from the outset.
