CDC Issues New Guidance On Allergic Reactions To Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued new guidance after reports of severe allergic reactions to Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine.

“CDC has learned of reports that some people have experienced severe allergic reactions — also known as anaphylaxis — after getting a COVID-19 vaccine,” the agency wrote on its website on Saturday. “As an example, an allergic reaction is considered severe when a person needs to be treated with epinephrine or EpiPen or if they must go to the hospital.”
