After two cases of allergic reactions, the UK Medicines Agency issued a warning to people with a “significant allergic history”. This is the Biontech and Pfizer vaccine.
The UK Medicines Agency (MHRA) advises “not to vaccinate anyone who has a history of significant allergic reactions to vaccines, drugs or foods.”
Allergic reactions in two people.
Two employees of the NHS national health service had suffered severe allergic reactions after being vaccinated with the Biontech and Pfizer vaccine. But they recovered well, said NHS chief Stephen Powis.
According to him, the two patients are so susceptible to allergies that they always carry an emergency kit with adrenaline. The warning is purely a precautionary measure, Powis said.
On Tuesday, the UK became the first country in the world to start mass vaccination with the vaccine from the two pharmaceutical companies Biontech and Pfizer.
The companies said that in the clinical trial of more than 44,000 participants, the vaccine was generally well tolerated and no serious safety concerns arose.
However, according to the study protocol published by Pfizer, the fundamental research did not include participants with a history of serious adverse reactions associated with a vaccine and / or serious allergic reactions to any of the study ingredients.
Cases are being investigated
The MHRA was the world’s first regulatory authority to approve the emergency vaccine a week ago. He wants to investigate the cases now. The two companies pledged their support.
