The doctor develops a severe allergic reaction after receiving the Modern COVID-19 vaccine

A Massachusetts doctor said he experienced a severe allergic reaction after receiving Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine on Thursday, the first of its kind recorded.

Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, a geriatric oncologist at Boston Medical Center, felt dizzy and produced a rapid heartbeat just minutes after he was inoculated, according to the New York Times.

Boston Medical Center spokesman David Kibbe said in a statement that Dr. Sadrzadeh “felt he was developing an allergic reaction and was allowed to self-administer his personal EpiPen. He was taken to the Emergency Department, evaluated, treated. , observed and discharged Today he is doing well “.

Due to his seafood allergy, the doctor took the EpiPen to the vaccine injection appointment. Within minutes, heart rate had risen to 150 beats per minute and the tongue began to sting before falling asleep.

In a jiffy, Sadrzadeh was soaked in a cold sweat and fainted. And his blood pressure dropped.

“It was the same anaphylactic reaction I experience with seafood,” Dr. Sadrzadeh told the Times. “I don’t want anyone to pass it up.”

While in the emergency room, he was given steroids and Benadryl to relax the immune response that had overwhelmed his body. A report from his visit indicated that “he was seen in the emergency room for shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations and numbness after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine.”

Sadrzadeh was released from medical care four hours later and said he was feeling well.

With more than a million injections already administered to recipients across the country, a doctor says severe reactions are uncommon and should not incite fear in most people.

“This should not deter people who are not at obvious risk,” explained Dr. Merin Kuruvilla, an allergist and immunologist at Emory University.
