New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker said in a statement that the man, who was in his 70s, fell as he left Manhattan’s Jacob Javits Convention Center just 25 minutes after getting his shot.

Shortly after he was rushed there, he was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Whether the man’s death is linked to the vaccine is currently unclear, but an investigation is now underway.

Zucker said in his statement, ‘Initial indications are that the man did not have any allergic reaction to the vaccine,’

Zucker added that the man’s sudden collapse followed a mandatory 15-minute observation period in which he’d shown no adverse reactions or any distress.

The FDNY said that Senior Care had taken the patient to the hospital just before 11 am on Sunday, where he died shortly after arriving.

The man’s identity has not been revealed by officials yet. Which type of COVID-19 vaccine he received is also unclear.

In his statement, Zucker stressed that he and other public health experts believe the vaccine ‘is safe, and it will bring an end to this pandemic together with continued vigilance including wearing a mask and social distancing.’

‘I encourage the vaccination of all eligible New Yorkers,’ Zucker continued.

Almost one million people have been vaccinated in New York City so far, with 1.5 million residents receiving their first doses statewide.

In total, in the US, almost 42 million doses have been administered so far.

31,579,100 million people were given one dose of the vaccine, which is equal to 9.6 percent of the population. While over 9,147,000 Americans have now received both vaccine doses, 2.78 percent of the population has received both doses.
