The Food and Drug Administration said on Friday they are investigating after multiple allergic reactions were reported in people who had just received Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine.
The new development comes just days after the Pfizer vaccine began to be administered nationwide.
What did the FDA say?
Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said at a press conference that five allergic reactions occurred this week in more than one state.
The reactions were reportedly similar to those seen in the United Kingdom last week.
“We are working hand in hand with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and we’ve actually been working closely with our United Kingdom colleagues, who of course reported the allergic reaction. I think we’ll be looking at all the data we can from each of these reactions to sort out exactly what happened, and we’ll also be looking to try to understand which component of the vaccine might be helping to produce them,” Marks said, the Hill reported.
