EU Adds Severe Allergy to AstraZeneca Vaccine Side Effects

Severe allergies should be added to the possible side effects of AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine after likely links were found to a number of cases in Britain, the EU's drug regulator said on Friday.
The development comes a day after the European Medicines Agency said it was investigating a separate issue of blood clots that prompted Denmark to suspend use of the jab, but said it remained safe to use.
The Amsterdam-based EMA said it had "recommended an update to the product information to include anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity (allergic reactions) as side effects."
"The update is based on a review of 41 reports of possible anaphylaxis seen among around 5 million vaccinations in the United Kingdom," it said in the highlights of the EMA committee that assesses the risk of medications.
"After careful review of the data, (the committee) considered that a link to the vaccine was likely in at least some of these cases."
The EMA said however that anaphylaxis, or what it called "severe allergic reactions", was already what it called a "known side effect that may occur, very rarely, with vaccines."
The AstraZeneca vaccine's product information already said that people should be kept under "close observation for at least 15 minutes" after getting the jab in case of allergic reactions.

Now we’re talking. My 89 y.o aunt had the Astra Zeneca shot last Friday, she hasn’t felt a thing. But most symptoms appear in the second shot... so it’s too early to say.
Yesterday, on French TV channel France 2, a long investigative report suggested that the virus did escape from the Wuhan lab. The responsible Chinese scientist lied on record about having the strain of virus in her lab before December 30th 2019 yet a PhD student did her research on that strain many years before. In fact, this strain was in the lab since 2013, taken from a mine full of bats.

Addendum: just called my auntie to inquire about her well-being. An allergy showed up on Monday (3 days after the shot) on the arm that took the shot. She has many mini zits (urticaria) that are itching her from the shoulder to her elbow...
Thank you Astra Zeneca
