After allergic reactions at 1 clinic, Calif pauses use of large batch of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine

After several people had apparent allergic reactions at one California clinic, state health officials on Sunday told providers across the state to pause administering doses from one COVID-19 vaccine lot that arrived from Moderna.

The move, made “out of an extreme abundance of caution,” means that 330,000 doses distributed to 287 providers across the state can’t be used amid an already slow vaccine rollout.

Officials said fewer than 10 people needed medical attention over the span of 24 hours, but didn’t clarify what their allergic reactions were.

“All appeared to be experiencing a possible severe allergic reaction during the standard observation period – a type of adverse event that the CDC reports some people have experienced when receiving a COVID-19 vaccine,” state health officials said in a news release.

The appointment site hasn't worked for anyone I know (all qualified).
Maybe we got lucky.

1. So the authorities are taking this seriously, as they should.

I wonder just which symptoms were seen.

2. I read somewhere anaphylaxis.

I'm allergic to sulfa drugs, bee stings and deerfly bites.
I'd like to know if sulfa is in the all the vaccines. I don't have an EpiPen or my own doctor.
