Following the first day of the UK’s massive vaccination rollout against the coronavirus, Britain’s medical regulator says people with a history of serious allergic reactions should not receive the Pfizer vaccine. Investigators are looking into possible allergic reactions from two people, who have recovered. The medical director of the UK’s National Health Service says that the advice was issued on a precautionary basis, and that it is not uncommon for different vaccines already on the market to come with warnings about allergic reactions. Both individuals who reported reactions worked for Britain’s National Health Service, and carried adrenaline shots, used to treat severe allergic reactions. According to Pfizer and Biontech, late-stage trails of their vaccine found “no serious safety concerns.” Today the Pfizer vaccine was approved in Canada, and the FDA could be days away from approving it in the U.S. Correspondent Mark Irons reports.
