It was Thursday that the doctor, Hossein Sadrzadeh of Boston, developed an allergic reaction after taking Moderna’s vaccine against Covid-19, writes the New York Times.
You were previously allergic to shellfish and immediately after the injection you should feel an increasing pulse and feel dizzy.
He was taken to the Boston Medical Center emergency department where he was evaluated and treated. He is said to have recovered later in the day and is feeling fine today, says a hospital spokesman.
The case, which is the first of its kind related to Moderna’s vaccine, writes the newspaper.
US authorities are already investigating five cases in which people have developed an allergic reaction to Pfizer and the BioNtech vaccine. In the UK, some healthcare professionals have had an allergic reaction after receiving the Pfizer vaccine in early December.
Very unusual with side effects
However, allergic reactions to the covid-19 vaccine are still rare.
“This should not deter people who are obviously not at increased risk,” said immunologist Merin Kuruvilla of Emory University, according to the New York Times.
Sweden has an agreement with Moderna
In early December, Sweden signed an agreement with the EU regarding vaccines from the American pharmaceutical company Moderna. Through the agreement with Moderna, Sweden will have access to approximately 1.8 million doses of its vaccine.
