Global News published this video item, entitled “Coronavirus: UK advises those with allergies to avoid Pfizer vaccine, Canada to monitor side effects” – below is their description.
In the U.K., thousands of people have already received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Some people have reported mild side effects like pain at the injection site and fatigue, which are not uncommon with vaccines. Two people in the U.K., both of them health care workers with histories of severe allergic reactions, did have an adverse allergic reaction to the drug. They have both since recovered, but U.K. regulators are advising people who have a history of severe allergies not to get the Pfizer-BioNtech shot. Canada is not going quite that far. Crystal Goomansingh reports.
Pfizer has said people with a history of severe adverse allergic reactions to vaccines or the candidate’s ingredients were excluded from their late-stage trials, which is reflected in the MHRA’s emergency approval protocol.
