New York, Jan 1 : A team of experts led by allergists at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in the US has assured that people with food or medication allergies can be vaccinated safely with Covid-19 jabs produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
The study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, comes at a time when reports of possible allergic reactions to the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna Covid- 19 vaccines have raised public concern.
Question #1: When will you get the vaccine?
The first wave of millions of vaccine vials have left the Pfizer headquarters and are either delivered or on their way to every state. It s now up to public health officials to execute vaccine plans. As these vaccines starts to roll out some states are going to progress much faster, said Josh Michaud, the Associate Director of Global Health Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
In Illinois, health care workers will be first to get the vaccine. Then, it s likely to go to first responders and other essential front-line workers. The principles of allocation are: how do we do this equitably by your risk your individual profile, where you live, as well as other identifiers your race, your ethnicity, and your vulnerabilities, said Dr. Rebecca Weintraub, an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School and Director of Vaccine Delivery at Ariadne Labs.
