People with history of ‘significant’ allergic not to have vaccine, UK officials

London (HRNW) UK regulators have issued a warning that people who have a history of “significant” allergic reactions should not currently receive the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.

It comes after two NHS staff members who had the jab yesterday experienced allergic reactions.

They developed “anaphylactoid reaction” symptoms shortly after being injected, and are now understood to be recovering.

Both have a significant history of allergies and have to carry adrenaline.

The pair are among thousands of people who received the first dose of the jab yesterday, as the biggest vaccination programme in the UK’s history got under way.
