However, the head of the FDA, Stephen Hahn, noted yesterday onThis weekmay not be 100% safe for those with a history of serious allergic reactions; In fact, they "should not receive" the vaccine, from an abundance of caution.

The head of the FDA says those who have had an allergic reaction to the ingredients of the vaccine should not take it

On Wednesday, the British health authorities warned that anyone with a "significant history of allergic reactions" should not be given the Pfizer / Biontech vaccine. The guidelines were issued by theNational Health Service EnglandAfter two health care workers "responded negatively" at their initial dose of the Tuesday vaccine. According to the group, the two staff members had a history of allergic reactions, with the two self-adrenal injectors. Each of them has demonstrated symptoms of anaphylactoid reaction.

Dr. Hahn said the conclusions meant that the process worked - and that he saw no case like this in the tests. "That's why we're doing a data line assessment line, and I do not know if you've seen one of the advisory committee's public discussions. But we have not seen, during the course of The clinical trial, important allergic reactions between the subject of trial. However, this has been observed in the british deployment and distribution, "he told the hostMartha Raddatz. "So what we said, we are first of all taking this very seriously, that security is very important. We put in our label that those who have evidence of severe allergy to any component of this vaccine Pfizer-Biontech should not receive it. "

The official recommendation of the FDA on which should not take the vaccine

Officially, the FDA says "You should not get the Pfizer-Biontech Covid-19 vaccine if you:

• had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose of this vaccine
• had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient of this vaccine. "

So what is in the vaccine? Says the FDA: "The Pfizer Biontech Covid-19 vaccine includes the following ingredients: mRNA, lipids (((4-hydroxybutyl) azanediyl) bis (hexane-6,1-diyl) bis (2-hexyldecanoate), 2 [(polyethylene glycol) ) -2000] -n, n-dtetraddetradetademide, 1,2-distaryyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine and cholesterol), potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, dibasic sodium dihydrate and sucrose. "

If you get the vaccine and you have an allergic reaction, Hahn declares that doctors have been responsible for preparing for such an event. "Out of abundance of caution, [we] asked the distribution sites the available dose of medicines that might be necessary to remedy it. So, again, because clinical trial data, the risk seems Being weak, but we need to be very careful about it and make sure we administer that appropriately, "Hahn said.

The skepticism of the vaccine endangers the immunity of the flock

Raddatz wondered how the "skepticism of the vaccine" could be a problem: "No matter how many times you talked about being sure, or you delivered it, despite the insurance on that, many in the United States continue. to vote skepticism. Recent polls between a quarter and one-third of Americans do not want to shoot, "she said." What types of problems do these numbers do? "

"It's a big problem," Hahn said. "I mean, if you think about how we come out of this pandemic, we must continue our mitigation efforts right now. It is so important, mask, wearing, et cetera. But the way we see the Light at the end of the tunnel, the way we succeed is to realize the immunity of the flock. And that means we have to vaccinate a significant number of people in this country, including those hesitant.

And we need to address their fears and concerns. We must move it so as to trust people. But we must also be transparent. What do we know? What do not we know?

And our process - it's our contribution to transparency. We want the data to be known. We wanted this advisory committee to be public. Because we wanted everyone in America - around the world, frankly, to see what information was available and why we made the judgment we made on the safety and efficiency of the vaccine. And as you can see, the experts of the Panel also gave, with their vote, an inch until this process of authorization. So I think the level of transparency and information helps us. "

As for yourself, follow the fundamental principles and help put an end to this thrust, no matter where you live: facial mask, the social distance, avoid big crowds, do not go inside with people that you do not go with (especially in the bars), practice good hand hygiene and protect your life and the lives of others , and do not visit these 35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
