13 Sept 07:36 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand reported its first severe side effect case from a Pfizer jab in a 12-year-old girl, who developed a cough, fatigue, and chest pain six days post-vaccination.
Medical diagnosis revealed she had a pulmonary embolism, potentially exacerbated by her underdeveloped physical condition and kyphosis, despite normal heart function.
After intensive treatment, including blood thinners and oxygen, her condition significantly improved, with blood clots dissolving and her moving out of ICU.
Health officials maintain the Pfizer vaccine's safety, while a panel of medical experts continues to investigate the specific cause of the blood clots in this case.
