People With Severe Allergies Shouldn't Get Covid-19 Vaccine, Says U.K. Regulator After Reactions
LONDON—Two of the first people vaccinated in the U.K. on Tuesday with the Pfizer Inc.-BioNTech SE shot responded adversely to the injection, the country’s National Health Service said, prompting the regulator to issue new guidance warning those with a history of significant allergic reactions against having the inoculation.
“Both are recovering well,” said Professor Stephen Powis, national medical director for the NHS.
The two people are NHS workers, part of the first tranche to receive the vaccine in line with front-line staff having initial access. Each of them carried an adrenaline auto-injector to deal with their allergies.
The U.K. is the first Western country to authorize a Covid-19 vaccine and on Tuesday began its vaccination program with priority recipients including health-care staff, people aged over 80 years old and residents and staff in nursing homes.
