After Emergency Use Authorization of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines, guidance was provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that persons with an immediate allergic reaction to a messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine should be evaluated by an allergist/immunologist before receipt of the second dose. In vaccinating health-care personnel, we referred those with significant reactions to allergy/immunology specialists so that they could safely receive the second dose. We found that many reactions after the first dose were nonallergic but could be debilitating and a barrier to the second dose. We created a protocol of premedications to allow health-care personnel to safely receive their second mRNA COVID-19 vaccine dose. This protocol is adaptable and can be used in settings where allergy/immunology referral is not immediately available.
在获得针对 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的紧急使用授权后,疾病控制与预防中心提供了指导意见,即对信使 RNA(mRNA)COVID-19 疫苗有即刻过敏反应的人应在接种第二剂疫苗之前由过敏症/免疫学专家进行评估。在为医护人员接种疫苗时,我们将那些对过敏/免疫学专家有严重反应的人转介过去,以便他们能够安全地接种第二剂疫苗。我们发现,第一剂后很多反应并不是过敏反应,但可能会使人衰弱,并且成为接种第二剂的障碍。我们制定了一个预先用药方案,使医护人员能够安全地接种第二剂 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗。该方案具有适应性,可以在没有过敏/免疫学专家的情况下使用。
