A few health care workers in Britain had also experienced anaphylaxis after receiving the Pfizer vaccine earlier this month. In a statement, David Kibbe, a spokesperson for Boston Medical Center, confirmed that Sadrzadeh had received Moderna’s vaccine Thursday. The statement said that Sadrzadeh “felt he was developing an allergic reaction and was allowed to self-administer his personal EpiPen. Sadrzadeh reported his reaction to both Moderna and a national vaccine safety surveillance system run by the FDA and the CDC. (Under normal circumstances, allergic reactions to vaccines are thought to occur at a rate of about one in 1 million.)
