Penang nurse died of heart attack, not because of vaccine, says Noor Hisham

PETALING JAYA: Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has dismissed claims that the Covid-19 vaccine had led to a nurse’s death in Sungai Petani.

Instead, he said the 45-year-old woman, a nurse with the Penang General Hospital, had died from a heart attack.

“An investigation by the health ministry shows her death was not a side effect of the vaccine,” he said in an FMT report.
