SINGAPORE —The Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Monday (5 July) that it is investigating an incident involving a 16-year-old boy who suffered a cardiac arrest after lifting weights six days into receiving his first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

The ministry on Monday (5 July) said it was alerted to the incident on Saturday by the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), where he had been treated at its emergency department following his collapse at home on the same morning.

The boy was later transferred to the National University Hospital (NUH) in the evening, where he remains in critical condition at the intensive care unit.

Prior to his collapse on Saturday, he was lifting weights at the gym, the MOH said, adding that it "understands that he trains with very heavy weights which were above his body weight".-- excerpt, rest at link above --
