Richard Besser, MD, says he expects FDA committee will explore coronavirus vaccine allergy reports
December 9, 2020 | 9:08 PM GMT
After two health-care workers reacted adversely to the first dose of the new Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine, British regulators ordered that people who have a history of "significant" allergic reactions not get the shot. Richard Besser, MD, said he expects the FDA may want to do more studies or issue cautions here following the “surprising report.” “I would expect that the FDA committee tomorrow is going to want to explore that more.”
