AstraZeneca Vaccine Side Effects Should Also Include Severe Allergy: EU Regulator
Severe allergies should be added to the possible side effects of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine after likely links were found to a number of cases in Britain, the EU’s drug regulator said on Friday. The Amsterdam-based EMA said it had “recommended an update to the product information to include anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity as side effects”. “After careful review of the data, considered that a link to the vaccine was likely in at least some of these cases.” The EMA said however that anaphylaxis, or what it called “severe allergic reactions”, was already what it called a “known side effect that may occur, very rarely, with vaccines”. The AstraZeneca vaccine’s product information already said that people should be kept under “close observation for at least 15 minutes” after getting the jab in case of allergic reactions.
