A nurse in the United States contracted the coronavirus despite being vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. It is reported by the ABC TV channel.
Matthew W., 45, who works as an emergency room nurse in the emergency departments of two California hospitals, was vaccinated against the coronavirus on December 18. However, on December 24, he began to experience chills, aches and weakness. Two days after the onset of symptoms, Matthew decided to get tested for coronavirus – his test was positive.
Several cases of severe allergy to the BioNTech / Pfizer vaccine have previously been identified. So, a severe allergic reaction began in a health worker in New York after being vaccinated against a coronavirus. A few days earlier, an allergy developed ten minutes after the drug was administered in a paramedic from Alaska.
On December 13, officials from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved an emergency vaccine from BioNTech and Pfizer in the United States. The first person to receive the vaccine from BioNTech and Pfizer in the United States was New York nurse Sandra Lindsay, who has worked with COVID-19 patients for the past ten months. Then on December 19, the US authorities approved the second vaccine against the Moderna coronavirus for use in the country.
