A DOCTOR who has a shellfish allergy says he was forced to give himself an EpiPen after suffering a severe allergic reaction to the Modern Covid-19 vaccine.
Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, a geriatric oncologist at Boston Medical Center, became dizzy and felt his heart race minutes after receiving the coronavirus vaccine.

Speaking to The New York Times, Dr. Sadrzadeh said that after receiving his Moderna prick, his tongue became numb and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He said: “It was the same anaphylactic reaction that I experienced with shellfish.
“I don’t want anyone to go through that.”
Dr. Sadrzadeh said that he had self-administered an EpiPen that he carried in case he had a reaction.
He was reportedly released after a brief examination in the emergency room.
Prior to this, only a handful of recipients of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine had reported allergic reactions to that inoculation, including a New York City healthcare worker.

A prominent Operation Warp Speed scientist has revealed that Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine is causing more allergic reactions than expected.
Dr. Moncef Slaoui said Wednesday that the number of reactions, at least seven in the United States, is significantly higher than would be expected for other vaccines.
But Dr. Sadrzadeh’s apparent allergy symptoms were the first known serious reaction to Moderna’s vaccine.
Both vaccines, which have similar ingredients, require two injections a few weeks apart.
It comes after the FDA warned that the Modern Covid vaccine may cause a less serious, but nonetheless uncomfortable, side effect of swelling in people with lip fillers.
A board-certified dermatologist in California said the US Food and Drug Administration advisory committee found that some trial participants had experienced specific side effects, ABC7 reported.

In response to the FDA’s findings on lip fillers, Dr. Shirley Chi said: “In these cases, all the patients had swelling and inflammation in the area that received the filler.
“A couple of patients had a cheek filler six months before the vaccine and one patient had a lip filler two days after the vaccine.
“They were all treated with steroids and antihistamines and all of their reactions resolved.”
According to Chi, the reactions to the new Moderna vaccine are immunological.
She said: “Your immune system, which causes inflammation, raises when you get a vaccine, that’s how it’s supposed to work.
“So it makes sense that you see an immune response in certain areas where you see some substance that is not a natural substance in your body.”
As of Wednesday, more than a million vaccines have been safely deployed in the US.
Ray Jordan, a spokesman for Moderna, said the company could not comment publicly on individual cases, although the company’s medical security team would investigate.
The FDA has not commented.
