Hello again everyone:
I continue to get a lot of questions about the safety and efficacy of the current vaccines available, which are the Pfizer and Moderna offerings. There continue to be several questions that are unanswered because we are so early in the process of Emergency Use Authorization and we do not have the full data that normally arrives with full use authorization. But right now, a safety hazard that is known is that there can be allergic reactions to some component(s) of the vaccine and it seems that everyone acknowledges this fact and all parties are being transparent about it. So, what does that mean for us when it comes to receiving the vaccine? I would refer you to this document from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology that they released December 14 th , 2020 (1) regarding only the Pfizer vaccine, although it seems that the allergic issues may be similar between the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
“Reactions to vaccines, in general, are rare with the incidence of anaphylaxis estimated at 1.31 in 1 million doses given. With the emergency use authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by the FDA on December 11, 2020, the ACAAI COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force recommends the following guidance for physicians and other providers related to risk of an allergic reaction on vaccination. These recommendations are based on best knowledge to date but could change at any time, pending new information and further guidance from the FDA or CDC.
Bottom Line: Heed this advice and make sure that the facility that offers any vaccine has in place emergency means to handle any allergic reactions.
