The CDC says that as of Saturday morning, there had been 272,000 doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine administered with six severe allergic reactions. They have changed their recommendations, cautioning those who have ever suffered an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the vaccine not to get it.
But those with allergic reactions not related to vaccines or injectable medications can still be vaccinated. If you’re allergic to food, pets, or other non-vaccine related products, the CDC says the vaccine should be safe.
U.S. vaccine recipients are supposed to hang around after their injections in case signs of an allergy appear. The CDC says all cases occurred within the recommended observation window and were promptly treated.
