This side effect of covid vaccine more common than thought, says study
But it's "not scary," says the author of a new study.
More people had a severe allergic reaction after getting an mRNACOVID vaccine That previously raw, a new study has been found.According to a letter of research published inJamaOn March 8, about 4,000 in a group of samples of experienced anaphylaxis, swelling of the throat that can be fatal, after receiving the vaccines made by Pfizer or Moderna. But all retrieved completely. It is important to note that even with these new statistics, the chances of anyone who has the reaction remain "extremely low", say the researchers.

2% had acute allergic reactions, say researchers
In the study, researchers examined 64,900 Mass's General Brigham Health System Employees who obtained their first dose of an anti-Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Forty percent received Pfizer shot and 60% Moderna. Acute allergic reactions have been reported by 2% of them and 16 people have experienced anaphylaxis.
Among these 16, nine were treated with epinephrine (Epipen) and three people with anterpede anaphylaxis chose not to seek care. One person has been admitted to intensive care. Everyone was finally ok.
Anaphylactic reactions started 17 minutes after shooting, on average. The average age was 41 and 15 of the 16 people were women. Sixty-three percent had an earlier allergy history and 31% had an earlier antercedence of anaphylaxis.
Serious reactions about 22 times higher than the CDC report
"Serious reactions compatible with anaphylaxis occurred at 2.47 for 10,000 vaccinations," wrote the authors of the study. It's about 22 times the rate reported by the CDC in January.
"The incidence rate of confirmed anaphylaxis in this study is greater than that reported by disease control and prevention centers," the researchers wrote. "However, the overall risk of anaphylaxis to an Arna Covid-19 vaccine remains extremely low and largely comparable to other common health care exhibitions".
They added: "Since about 5% of adults have serious food allergy stories and 1% of adults have a history of serious drug allergy, This cohort of MGB employees has probably grown nearly 4,000 people with severe food allergy or medicine stories that were safely vaccinated. "
Kelly Blumenthal, an immunologist who studies drug allergies and led the study, said the CDC relied on the self-declaration of people who had the vaccine, while his team studied a specific group and had access to all their data. "Sometimes there is missing key information in the [Unwanted Immunization Event Reporting System] or missing records", "She tweeted, adding that there could be "potentially based differences based on the geography or demography of employees ... 2.47 for 10,000 is not frightening. These are large vaccines and everything with recovered anaphylaxis".
