HOUSTON – Two people who experienced possible allergic reactions after receiving the Pfizer vaccine in the UK are recovering well, according to UK regulators. However, now there’s a warning for those who have a history of severe allergic reactions, such as those to food, medicine, vaccines or need to carry an epi-pen. “There are people who have had true allergic reactions to vaccines in the past. “Work out a strategy about when and how they can safely receive the vaccine,” McCarthy said. “It may mean they need to receive it in a more monitored environment.”Locally, researchers said they’ve witnessed zero allergic reactions to the vaccines in clinical trials.

HOUSTON – More than 220,000 vaccines are expected across the state next week beginning as early as Monday. Here in Houston, many hospitals are looking to vaccinate or than 1,000 healthcare workers per day. Houston area hospital plans for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution are being finalized as healthcare workers wait for FDA emergency approval. About 2,000 healthcare workers are expected to be vaccinated per day. Again vaccine distribution could start as early as next week.
