Covid-19

For those of you who are data freaks or who need a little something to help getting to sleep, I am attaching the FDA briefing document entitled "Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee Meeting" dated for tomorrow (yes, you read that correctly). It is all you want to know about the Pfizer vaccine and more. 49 pages of Pfizer vaccine goodness.

If you have a history of allergic reactions, forget about the Pfizer vaccine.

NHS told not to give Covid vaccine to those with history of allergic reactions

So, I have seen the data. I HAVE the data. The sole contraindication is "hypersensitivity"; i.e., an allergic reaction (applies to previous vaccines, as defined by anaphylaxis). We can kinda tell who will (have an "allergic reaction") based on history, but no one has any history until their first time. Also based on the numbers in the clinical trials, the 'n' is so small I do not know if it is really and truly an contraindication. What, fewer than 10 out of >50,000? And then, what's an "allergic reaction"? Anaphylaxis? Hives? Sniffles? For us, the contraindication would be anaphylaxis.

I see both sides. Us, we'll probably tell people "if you had a reaction to any other vaccine, do not get the Pfizer vaccine."

I should have used a rolling eye smiley but it's honestly nice to see something "negative" being reported.

Health Canada just approved the Pfizer vaccine but we're only getting 249,000 doses, maybe before the new year. Then who knows how long before we get anything else. I'll have to look for it but I read an article this morning, a mayor spoke out about how the majority of people in Ontario, won't have any vaccine until late 2021 or more likely 2022.

COVID-19 vaccine no quick fix: Mayor
