CBS Denver 12/17/2020 Syndicated Local – CBS Denver
(CBS4) – More vaccine was arriving at hospitals Wednesday as health care professionals got ready to get shots all over Colorado. It comes amid a report of the first serious allergic reaction to the Pfizer vaccine in the United States. A health care worker at hospital in Alaska had a serious reaction, but no prior known allergies. Experts have said some severe reactions are possible.
Vaccines have a rate of severe reaction about 1 in a million on average. Dr. Shaila Gogate told CBS4 the Pfizer vaccine showed no greater rate of severe reactions in its trials than the group that got the vaccine as compared to those who got a placebo. Gogate is medical director of the Colorado Allergy & Asthma Centers which has a dozen offices on the Front Range.
