The 13-year-old girl who took ill on Tuesday, shortly after being vaccinated against COVID-19, was still recovering at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) yesterday afternoon but was expected to be discharged.
The teen’s father, Mark Yusuff, confirmed that up to yesterday afternoon, the child was in the hospital. He noted that she was feeling much better and seemed to be recovering quickly. He declined to comment further.
Whether her illness is related to the vaccine or not has not been confirmed but the Health Ministry, which is investigating the case, had moved to assure the public on Tuesday that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective after her case was publicised.
