LIBERTYVILLE, IL. – Attorney Aurora will resume vaccinations at one of her hospitals in Illinois after four reactions triggered a precautionary break.
Officials with the hospital system said he stopped administering vaccines to his team at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, IL, Friday after four people experienced reactions after receiving the shot.
Officials said one person had a serious reaction. The hospital observed the patient overnight and has since sent this person home. Otherwise, officials say other people’s reactions were “mild.”
Dr. Robert Citronberg is the executive medical director of infectious disease prevention and prevention at Advocate Aurora Health, and said he spoke with one of the people who had a mild reaction on Saturday.
“Today we contacted this doctor who feels very well and said that he is absolutely one hundred percent of the continuous vaccination of our population, knowing the importance of this to end our pandemic, do not hesitate at all.” , said Citronberg.
Defender Aurora only stopped vaccinations in Condell. He never stopped vaccinations at any of his Wisconsin locations.
Dr. Citronberg said they consulted disease control centers, as well as local and state health authorities, and all approved the system plan to continue vaccinations on Sunday.
Citronberg said he is confident there will be no problems with the supply, because he said vaccines in the same batch went to other health centers in Lake County, Illinois, and since then no one has reported problems.
“We will have occasional reactions, there is no doubt, and I think we are adequately prepared to deal with these and when they occur,” Citronberg said.
He said attorney Aurora Health administered some 6,000 doses of vaccine to her workers this week and said there are no plans to curb it.
“The vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic right now and we hope there are some occasional safety concerns with the vaccine,” Citronberg said. “But ultimately, it’s a miracle that we have this vaccine, the Pfizer vaccine, that we have another one next week. It’s a miracle that we have this, and with a successful vaccination of the population, we can end this pandemic. in the coming months “.
On Saturday afternoon, a CDC committee recommended the Modern vaccine for emergency use.
