New york, Dec 27: A doctor in Boston with a history of allergies had a severe allergic reaction to Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine.
Hossein Sadrzadeh told CNN that after he was vaccinated at Boston Medical Center on Thursday, he felt his heart rate spike to 150 beats per minute.
Sadrzadeh also told the news outlet that within minutes he “felt in my tongue and also my throat having, like, some weird sensation of tingling and numbness, the same reaction that I had before to my shellfish allergy.” He also said his blood pressure dropped so low a monitor couldn’t detect it.
Sadrzadeh used his EpiPen and was rushed to the emergency room where he was given medications, according to a statement issued by the medical center to The Hill.
