The 21-year-old man initially underwent AstraZeneca vaccination at GBK on Wednesday (5/5/2021) at 13.30 noon. After undergoing vaccination, he returned to work at the office, located at Pegadaian Cibubur.
During the 30-minute observation process, after being vaccinated with AstraZeneca, no complaints were found. Symptoms began to appear while he was working in the office. He didn’t feel well.
Prof. Hindra regretted that he did not directly report to the telephone number printed on the vaccination card. The man, he said, immediately took the initiative to go to a general practitioner.
“He did not report to the vaccine station, right there is a phone number on the back of the card. But he wants to go to a doctor at a regular doctor. So my question is, does he have a regular doctor’s illness, incidentally his regular doctor does not practice, so he does not seek treatment. , “explained Prof. Hindra.
Symptoms did not improve until midnight. The fever felt by the man was getting higher and he was called Prof. Hindra who did not go to treatment because the doctor who was a regular man from Jakarta was not practicing.
“At midnight he had a fever, was high, he did not seek treatment either, then in the morning he felt sore, so he was massaged, the person concerned was not married so he lived at home with his family. After the massage he fainted, then was taken to the hospital in Rawamangun, but it turned out that he arrived at the hospital. death on arrival, “kata Prof Hindra.
