Severe allergic reactions after COVID-19 vaccination with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in Great Britain and USA

Abstract: SummaryTwo employees of the National Health Service (NHS) in England developed severe allergic reactions following administration of BNT162b2 vaccine against COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019). The British SmPC for the BNT162b2 vaccine already includes reference to a contraindication for use in individuals who have had an allergic reaction to the vaccine or any of its components. As a precautionary measure, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued interim guidance to the NHS n… Show more

“…It needs to be emphasized, however, that the study patients with a history of allergy and/or anaphylaxis who demonstrated good vaccine tolerance constituted a group of individuals who had been qualified for vaccination following guidelines and recommendations prerequiring stratification and phenotyping of such patients [22,23]. Patients with a history of anaphylaxis to vaccines and injection drugs containing polyethylene glycol (PEG), as potentially susceptible to hypersensitivity reactions to the PEG component of vaccines [24][25][26], had undergone allergological consultations recommended by the Polish Allergological Society prior to being vaccinated [27][28][29][30].…”

“…Das U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) hat gemeinsam mit der US-amerikanischen Food and Drug Administration (FDA) eine Studie initiiert, die Reaktionen auf beide COVID-19-Impfstoffe untersuchen soll in Abhängigkeit von zuvor vorhandenen anti-PEG-Antikörpern [1,3].…”

“…Kreuzreaktivität zwischen PEGs und ihren Derivaten, d. h. strukturell verwandten Polymeren wie Polysorbaten, besteht aufgrund gemeinsamer Moleküleinheiten [21]. PEGs galten lange Zeit als biologisch inert, aber immer mehr Hinweise deuten darauf hin, dass sie es nicht sind, und verschiedene anti-PEG-Antikörper wurden bei bis zu 72 % einer Population gefunden [1,3], vermutlich als Folge der Exposition gegenüber Kosmetika und Arzneimitteln.…”
