Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh
The first case of moderna injection’s induced reaction has been reported. It was Dr Hossein Sadrzadeh, a geriatric oncologist at Boston Medical center who suffered from a severe reaction right after being injected with the Moderna corona vaccine.
According to his medical history, he was allergic to shellfish and it got aggravated resulting in similar symptoms in his body. On Christmas eve, he received the vaccine and developed following symptoms;
1. An increased heart rate
2. Numbness of tongue
3. Blood pressure dropped
4. Broke out in a cold sweat
5. Became dizzy
As these symptoms showed up, He was immediately shifted into the emergency of the hospital and was kept under observation for four hours before he was discharged.
It is the first ever case of severe side effects of the moderna vaccine that got its approval last week and its administration began right after that.
According to Dr. Sadrzadeh, it was the same anaphylactic reaction that is caused in him whenever he eats shellfish and it was so horrific that he said he doesn’t want anyone else to suffer the way he did.
Previously, after the administration of Pfizer-bioNtech vaccine was permitted, only a small number of people who received the vaccine reported minor allergic reactions.
During Pfizer’s trial phase – when 44,000 people were examined and half were given the vaccine – there were a small number of allergic reactions recorded.
According to the research that was conducted on the people who suffered from reactions, almost all of them already had a medical history of certain allergies and no one without any previous history of allergies has reported side effects of coronavirus vaccines.
Federal agencies are investigating at least six cases where people have suffered anaphylaxis after receiving the alternative Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine.
Sadrzadeh’s case is the first known reaction to someone having been given the Moderna injection.
