CDC reveals at least 21 Americans have suffered life threatening allergic reactions to Pfizer's COVID vaccine - but officials beg people to get the shot and say problems are 'rare'
A new report from the CDC revealed 21 out of 1.9 million suffered anaphylaxis after getting the first dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine
Of the patients, 17 had a history of allergies or allergic reactions and 71% occurred within 15 minutes of vaccination
Four people were admitted to the hospital, but all have since recovered or were discharged home
The CDC says the rate of the life-threatening allergic reaction is 11.1 cases of per million doses compared with one case per million for the flu
Public health experts are still pleading with people to get the shot as the virus continues to claim an average of more than 2,000 lives per day
Nearly two dozen Americans have experienced life-threatening allergic reactions after receiving Pfizer-BioNTech's coronavirus vaccine, a new report finds.
Between December 14 and 23, a total of 21 people suffered anaphylaxis upon getting their first dose, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revealed on Wednesday.
Of those patients, 17 people had a history of allergies or allergic reactions and 71 percent of cases occurred within 15 minutes of vaccination.
With approximately only 1.9 million shots administered over that time period, that is a rate of 11.1 cases of anaphylaxis per million doses.
However, the CDC says this reaction is 'still exceedingly rare' and urge the general public to get the vaccines when they become available to them to help curb the pandemic that is claiming an average of more than 2,000 lives per day in the U.S.
