Third Alaskan health care worker has allergic reaction to Covid-19 vaccine

CNN  

CNN — For the third time in three days, an Alaska health care worker had an allergic reaction after receiving a dose of the new Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. A clinician in Fairbanks on Thursday experienced “a probable anaphylactic reaction” about 10 minutes after the injection during an observation period, according to leadership at Foundation Health Partners, a health care system linked to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. The FDA has said there is a “remote chance” that the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. We will closely monitor all reports suggestive of serious allergic reactions following vaccination and update labeling language if needed.” The company said clear warnings are provided, precautions are advised, and medical treatment and supervision “should always be readily available” in the event of a severe allergic reaction.
