COVID Vaccine: Allergic Reaction Trigger
December 29, 2020
According to a report by the Italian daily, Il Corriere della Sera, there are compounds present in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food that may cause the COVID vaccine allergic reaction in some people due to previous exposure. The substance behind the allergic reactions that some people developed after receiving Pfizer’s COVID vaccine may have been discovered. This would be the “polyethylene glycol” compound, also known as PEG.

Although health authorities are still investigating, as the pharmaceutical company itself is doing, we know that PEG can be associated in a rare way with allergic reactions as confirmed by Peter Marks, Director of the Centre for Product Evaluation and Research, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) biological products.
