Meanwhile, Tiffany Dover has now revealed that she did not faint due to any side effect of the vaccine. The head nurse said she has a condition that sometimes causes her to faint when she feels pain.
"It just hit me all of the sudden, I could feel it coming on. I felt a little disoriented but I feel fine now, and the pain in my arm is gone," she said after recovering.
