Network Ten employee who revealed she has been diagnosed with a 'rare' heart condition after receiving the Pfizer jab, has urged Aussies to still get vaccinated.
Hannah Scott took to her Instagram on Wednesday morning to share she was suffering from pericarditis. In a lengthy Instagram post from her hospital bed, Ms Scott said she doesn’t “regret” getting jabbed, nor is it her intention to put anyone off from getting vaccinated. She said she copped symptoms of the rare heart condition “almost immediately” after getting her first dose of the vaccine, adding that she had pins and needles down her arm and into her hand. “Cold chills and dizzy spells were regular. I pushed on and four days ago (one week post jab) my heart began racing uncontrollably, making it difficult to slow my heart rate down enough to sleep (my heart is still racing today).” “The purpose of this post is to highlight that if you’re feeling any of these symptoms – get checked to be safe, because this side effect is rarely talked about, *despite my doctors saying they have been seeing this more frequently of late*,” she said. “I don’t regret my decision as the long term effects of Covid can be far worse and I don’t want to put anyone off getting vaccinated."
