Harvey, 18, received his first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab on Friday (05.02.21), but he's now been been rushed to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, with Katie said to be "worried to bits".

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Katie’s in bits, Harvey only had the jab on Friday but now doctors who know Harvey well are telling her he’s had a bad reaction to it - it can’t be anything else.

"She’s very worried but is trying to remain calm."

Harvey was given the vaccine because he's considered to be in a high-risk category.

The teenager - who has Prader–Willi syndrome, Septo-optic dysplasia and is also on the autistic spectrum - was said to have been "shaking uncontrollably" and suffering a high temperature before being taken into hospital.

The insider added: "It’s dangerous as he hasn’t got cortisol in his body to fight like us."

Katie previously revealed that Harvey was the youngest person she'd seen receive the vaccine.

The TV star also explained that it was "calmly and professionally" done.

She told The Sun newspaper: "Harvey was the youngest we saw there it was all smoothly calmly and professionally done...

"Harvey was so brave and it was over so quick everybody so helpful. It just felt like being in a film and made you realise more how serious this is."

Meanwhile, Katie recently revealed she's had regular police visits due to complaints from the public that she has been breaching coronavirus restrictions during lockdown.

She explained: "I've had more police turn up at mine for COVID testing. I'm like, 'Why are you here again, I'm here? They're like, because of your Instagram. We've had complaints saying that you're not at home or this and that'.

"We're like, 'What, do you think we've got a party?' I said, 'My son's extremely vulnerable. We're here.' I said, 'You've got to stop believing people when they ring you up. And I'm embarrassed."
