    Over 1.28 lakh receive Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine in US
  • Since vaccinations started in the United States on Monday, over 1.28 lakh people have reportedly received the vaccine so far.

    The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also issued guidelines on the allergic reactions from the vaccine.

    The US, which is the world's worst-hit country in the outbreak, witnessed a record single-day spike in new infections on Saturday.

  • According to The New York Times, more than 1.28 lakh people received a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine this week.

    The government is reportedly expected to initially deliver enough vaccine for 2.9 million people to receive the first dose.

    However, the amount is not enough even for healthcare workers and long-term care facility residents at the frontlines of the outbreak, the report added.

  • The CDC on Saturday said it was monitoring the vaccine's allergic reactions.

    The agency also recommended to people who had a severe reaction after the first dose to not get the second dose.

    The CDC defined "severe allergic reaction" as needing the medication epinephrine or treatment in a hospital.

    People with severe allergies to food, pets, latex, or environmental conditions could still get vaccinated.
