Sabah health chief: Duo fainted after vaccine jabs from hunger, and nothing else


Two men fainted after getting their vaccine jabs due to hunger as one did not eat since the night before and the other, since morning.

KOTA KINABALU: The two men who collapsed after getting their Covid-19 vaccine jabs in Sandakan fainted from hunger and not from any side effects, the authorities have clarified.

However, Sabah Health Department director Dr Rose Nani Mudin has stated that claims made online – including an allegation that one of the men died – is fake.
