A New York health worker, one of 30,000 to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the city, has a “severe allergic reaction.”
- The unidentified worker is one of 30,000 people who have had the vaccine
- It is not known whether they were given the Pfizer vaccine or the Moderna vaccine
- According to Pix 11, they are in a “stable state” in the hospital
- Two British health workers had allergic reactions to the Pfizer vaccine
- They recovered and the percentage of allergic reactions is at the same level as the general public with allergies
- Still, many people are skeptical about vaccines that have been developed in record time
A New York City health worker has had a “severe” allergic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine.
They are now the sixth known health worker in the world to have a severe reaction at first.
Two British health workers who received an anaphylactic shock when they received it in the first week of its distribution and three in Alaska suffered similar reactions.
More than 30,000 COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in New York City and they are the only known person who has had a reaction.

Pix 11 reports that the New York health worker is now in a “stable state,” but that the reaction was “severe.”
The New York Department of Health did not immediately respond to a request for more details.
There has been widespread skepticism about both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which were developed in record time.
All government experts say they are confident and that many senior officials have taken the plunge to prove it is nothing to fear.
But many members of the public stop to get it until more research is done.
The long-term side effects are still unknown and it’s unclear how long it will protect you from the virus.
There is also little information on how the vaccine affects pregnant women.
During the Pfizer trial phase (when 44,000 people were examined and half of whom received the vaccine), some suffered from allergic reactions.
But the company said the pace at which people suffered from them was equal to the number of people who have allergies in the general public, so it was not abnormal.
On Tuesday, Dr. Fauci, the nation’s top doctor, received the Modern vaccine on Tuesday, as did HHS Secretary Alex Azar.
Trump has not yet had the vaccine.
The general public is not expected to receive the vaccine until July.
Dr. Fauci said Tuesday that while the doses would begin to be available to the general public in late March, a significant number of people will not have them until July.
As the vaccine is slowly spreading around the world, a new mutant strain of the virus is causing new fears.
The new strain is said to be 70 times more infectious, but is not thought to be more deadly than previously seen.
It has sent Europe into panic mode and has effectively sealed the UK from other countries. Experts say it is already likely in the US, but it has not yet been detected.
