New article. One of the patients had no prior history of allergic reactions.

Two health care workers at the same hospital in Alaska developed concerning reactions just minutes after receiving Pfizers coronavirus vaccine this week, including one staff member who was to remain hospitalized until Thursday.

Health officials said that the cases would not disrupt their vaccine rollout plans and that they were sharing the information for the sake of transparency.

The first worker, a middle-aged woman who had no history of allergies, had an anaphylactic reaction that began 10 minutes after receiving the vaccine at Bartlett Regional Hospital in Juneau on Tuesday, a hospital official said. She experienced a rash over her face and torso, shortness of breath and an elevated heart rate.

That makes a bit more sense than two random occurrences would.

Same hospital again?

Im not sure yet about the third one

So people with known severe allergies reacted badly to a vaccine? This isn't news.

So that's 1 person with a serious reaction so far out of, what, two hundred thousand+ vaccinated? 0,0005%

Good score

Oh fuck, 0.00234375% of people got a skin rash and shortness of breath, we better cancel the entire thing.

tbh what they should do is let vaccinated people walk around covid hotspots to see if it's really working as intended.

You'd need some antivaxxer loons as a "control group", which may be amusing.

The trials pretty much did this though.

Chicago area hospitals pause Covid-19 vaccinations following allergic reactions

4 health workers experienced allergic reactions one of them was severe. They paused giving the vaccinations on Friday and are monitoring the situation

They gonna pause it over a few reactions? Always understood this to be fairly normal with vaccinations that there is always a small chance of a reaction.

Maybe they're happening more often than they were expecting

They're looking at a specific component, but this isn't localized to just on hospital.

also looks like they are only putting them on hold because they need to ensure they have the relevant anti reaction drugs available.

"why are we scared of COVID, it's only got a fatality rate of 2%!"

"the vaccine is dangerous! 0.0002% of people had a reaction to it!"
