The first worker, a middle-aged woman, experienced a rash over her face and body, shortness of breath, and elevated heart rate 10 minutes after receiving the vaccine. The second worker developed eye puffiness, lightheadedness, and a scratchy throat 10 minutes after being vaccinated. On December 30, Reuters reported the death of a 91-year-old woman in Switzerland after receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
