Alexis Lorenz, a 23-year-old with PNH, a rare blood disorder, was admitted to UCI Medical Center for treatment. According to her family, the hospital required her to get vaccinated against meningitis, pneumonia, and tetanus in order to continue treatment for her pre-existing condition. Alexis, who had previously avoided vaccinations for religious reasons, agreed. Within 10 minutes of receiving the vaccines, she allegedly had an extreme adverse reaction.
Her sister says she lost vision, started bleeding from her nose, began vomiting, and developed purple patches all over her body. Her sister also alleges the hospital staff were slow to address the adverse reaction. Alexis gave UCI Medical Center permission to discuss her case, but UCI Media Relations has not responded to requests for comment. Alexis is reportedly slowly getting better and has regained her vision, but may need several weeks to recover enough for release.
