Oregon Health Care Worker Hospitalized After Getting COVID-19 Vaccine
A health care worker in Oregon was hospitalized this week after suffering a severe allergic reaction to Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine.
The worker is employed by Wallowa Memorial Hospital. The worker, who was not identified, is recovering at a hospital after experiencing the reaction, or anaphylaxis, the Oregon Health Authority said in a statement.
The hospital shared the authority’s statement but gave no further information.
The reaction was one of the first reported to Moderna’s vaccine, which was authorized at a later date than the one made by Pfizer and BioNTech. A Moderna spokesperson didn’t respond to a request for comment.
