Nurse ‘most likely’ developed sleep disorder after vaccine

A coroner has concluded it is “most likely” that a nursery nurse developed the sleep disorder narcolepsy as a result of receiving a swine flu vaccination.

Katie Clack, 23, became depressed after developing the condition in 2009 and jumped to her death from the top of a multi-storey carpark in Peterborough in September 2014.

Her narcolepsy had led to her sleeping for up to 19 hours per day on occasions and her mental health worsened. An inquest in Stamford heard that the Peterborough woman did not want the vaccine but was required to have it for her job.
