Back to Episodes120. Ask a Fellow- Vaccine Anaphylaxis after mRNA SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination
Published 4 years, 9 months ago
Description
This time instead of asking a fellow- we ask an expert attending physician Dr. Samira Jeimy (Allergy and Immunology) all about anaphylaxis in relation to the COVID vaccine! If someone has had a previous allergy to vaccines, can they safely get the mRNA COVID vaccine? If someone has a reaction to dose 1, can they get dose 2 or 3? What is PEG and does this prevent people from getting the vaccine? If a patient comes to me with concerns about vaccine allergy, what should I do? Special guest host Dr. Vivian Szeto (Internal Medicine resident). Infographic by Dr. Shannon Gui (Internal Medicine Resident).
