A second healthcare worker has experienced a severe reaction after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine, officials said Friday.
Both cases were in Alaska.
In the latest, a worker, identified only as a female clinician, began experiencing probable anaphylactic symptoms about 10 minutes after receiving the shot Thursday in Fairbanks. Symptoms included tongue swelling, hoarse voice and difficulty breathing.
She received two doses of epinephrine at the emergency department at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital and was discharged about six hours later. Allergic reactions, though uncommon, can occur with injections of medications and vaccines, Chief Medical Officer Dr Angelique Ramirez said in a statement.
