   A 33-year-old former Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) patient from Georgia   
   relived the horrors of his past encounter with the virus after taking a shot   
   of Pfizer’s new vaccine against the dreaded disease on Dec. 17, 2020.   
      
   “I initially had to sit down for about 15 minutes and felt my mouth dry, my   
   tongue was kind of tingling, not swollen. I was checked for anaphylactic   
   shock. I felt like an adrenaline shock and felt my heart racing, my blood   
   pressure was high–stayed in the emergency room for an hour for   
   observation,”   
   he wrote. “I felt the same kind of sensation when I had COVID in July.”   
      
   He was just one of over a thousand people injected with the COVID-19   
   vaccine, who experienced adverse effects of the medicine. Some 308 of them   
   ended up in an emergency room.   
      
   A woman from Michigan vaccinated on Dec. 16, 2020 was sent to an emergency   
   room after experiencing dizziness, lightheadedness, chest tightness and hand   
   tingling. She thought she had a panic attack. A health worker at Bartlett   
   Regional Hospital in Alaska was taken to the emergency room and spent   
   several nights there with a suspected severe allergic reaction, or   
   anaphylaxis, after receiving Pfizer’s vaccine.   
      
   Some patients reported that they experienced nausea, tremors, stabbing pain   
   and wheezing. Reports from the patients sent to hospital emergency rooms   
   were documented on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).   
   (Related: New study claims vaccinated children appear to be “significantly   
   less healthy” than unvaccinated.)   
      
   VAERS serves as an early warning system to detect possible safety problems   
   in U.S.-licensed vaccines. It was established in 1990 and managed by the   
   Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug   
   Administration (FDA). Anyone can report an adverse event to the system.   
      
   A health worker at Bartlett Regional Hospital in Alaska was taken to the   
   emergency room and spent several nights there with a suspected severe   
   allergic reaction, or anaphylaxis, after receiving Pfizer’s vaccine.   
      
   Issues with the newly approved COVID-19 vaccines surfaced almost immediately   
   after they started being administered. Thousands of people self-reported to   
   VAERS being unable to work or perform daily activities, or needing care from   
   a health care professional, after getting one of the doses from the first   
   tranche. The system has received 1,156 reports of adverse events, including   
   17 that have been “life-threatening” and two that have led to “permanent   
   disability.”   
      
   The CDC already issued an announcement saying that anyone who experienced an   
   allergic reaction after getting one of the vaccines should not get a second   
   dose. The vaccines are given in two doses, three weeks apart.   
      
   Normal vaccination reactions, side effects   
   It is common to experience fatigue, fever, headache and aching limbs during   
   the first three days following vaccination. There may also be redness,   
   swelling or pain around the injection site. These reactions show that the   
   vaccine is working and they have also been reported by people who already   
   received COVID-19 vaccines from BioNTech-Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and   
   Russia’s Sputnik V.   
      
   Severe side effects like allergic shocks are considered as isolated cases.   
   In fact, the 308 vaccinated people sent to the emergency rooms only   
   represent a minuscule 0.0064 percent of the 4.8 million total vaccinations   
   done as of Jan. 5.   
      
   No serious side effects occurred during the approval phase of the BNT162b2   
   vaccine developed by BioNTech of Germany and Pfizer of the US. But since the   
   vaccine has been in use, some patients suffered severe allergic reactions   
   immediately after the injection. One American and two Briton patients went   
   into anaphylactic shock, associated with reddening of the skin and shortness   
   of breath.   
      
   The British Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)   
   warned people who are allergic to certain vaccine ingredients or have   
   already suffered an anaphylactic shock, against getting the vaccination.   
   (Related: UK to deploy “resuscitation facilities” in coronavirus   
   vaccination   
   centers to treat wave of allergic reactions caused by vaccines.)   
      
   The mRNA-1273 vaccine from US company Moderna is a gene-based vaccine that   
   is very similar in principle to BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine. During trials,   
   participants reported only mild or moderate reactions. But an interim report   
   by an independent surveillance panel said that nearly 10 percent of those   
   vaccinated by mRNA-1273 experienced fatigue. A few also had allergic   
   reactions and experienced facial nerve paralysis.   
      
   Still, the World Health Organization (WHO), the FDA and the European   
   Medicines Agency (EMA) have said all approved vaccines are safe.
