(National File) A young horse jumping champion suffered blood clots following a reaction to the Moderna vaccine.
Igomen Allen, 22, was told by doctors that blood clots had formed on her lungs two weeks after she was vaccinated, according to The Daily Mail. Doctors believe the adverse reaction could have been triggered by a combination of the jab and contraceptive pills. Experts described the condition as “extremely rare.”
Doctors are unsure whether or not the 22-year-old will ever be able to ride a horse again. She will also be required to take blood-thinning medication for the remainder of her life.
Allen had hoped to become a police detective and had recently secured a job as a police officer, though she will now be unable to perform the role. She hopes to reapply in the future if her health improves.
“I was always wary of something happening, and it shows that I had every right to be, because look at me now,” Allen told The Daily Mail. Allen was diagnosed with a bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism after collapsing while on a family vacation last month.
Allen said her symptoms began on July 24 when she was feeling tired after climbing stairs. Over the next few days, she became increasingly tired while performing basic tasks. “Even brushing my teeth and hair I was panting and had to take breaks,” Allen said.
