UK's MHRA Warns That People With 'Severe Allergies' Should Avoid CV Vaccine

UK Warns People With "Severe Allergies" Shouldn't Take COVID Vaccine

The MHRA (Britain's regulator) warned Wednesday that any patients with histories of having "powerful allergic overreactions" should avoid the vaccine. For a report published by a professional news agency like Reuters, the details were surprisingly vague. Since a huge number of Americans are allergic to something, a little more clarity would be appreciated.

According to public opinion polls, state and federal health officials have apparently been succeeding in establishing "credibility" to these vaccines. But there's no question that setbacks like this could have a profound affect on individuals' willingness to accept the vaccine, which also reportedly comes with punishing sideeffects.

Britain began mass vaccinating its population on Tuesday in a global drive that poses one of the biggest logistical challenges in peacetime history, starting with the elderly and frontline workers National Health Service medical director Stephen Powis said the advice had been changed after two NHS workers reported anaphylactoid reactions associated with receiving the vaccine. “As is common with new vaccines the MHRA (regulator) have advised on a precautionary basis that people with a significant history of allergic reactions do not receive this vaccination, after two people with a history of significant allergic reactions responded adversely yesterday,” Powis said. “Both are recovering well.”
