A Boston cancer doctor who had a severe allergic reaction to a Covid-19 vaccine just before Christmas said The street On Sunday, by phone, that he regrets not getting shot, but that others with known allergies should take extra precautions in advance.
Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, a man in geriatric oncology at Boston University School of Medicine, was photographed by the Boston-based Modern Biotechnology Company. (mRNA) – Get the report on Thursday, but he soon felt his heart beating and admitted that he had an allergic reaction.
“It was a scary experience and I was prepared for it,” Sadrzadeh said The street. “I work with high-risk patients and I didn’t want to be a clear carrier of this virus … I did it for my family, my patients. I would recommend everyone to get the vaccine.”
Sadrzadeh, who has a known allergy to shellfish and had the epinephrine autoinjector at hand at the time, said shortly after receiving the shot that he felt his heart beating, but at first he thought the symptom was caused by anxiety. But after a few more minutes, he realized it was an allergic reaction.
Until Sunday, Sadrzadeh said he was feeling well, but he did not feel well on Saturday, dizzy. Heart rate and blood pressure were also stopped, despite the fact that it felt OK on Friday.

While Sadrzadeh said that anyone who can be vaccinated should prevent the spread of the new coronavirus – and that shots are much safer than receiving the virus itself – he said he wants to “answer the word” for others who they have allergies.
The doctor added that it would be a “disaster” if people who are not doctors or other health professionals have an allergic reaction and are not able to receive the quick treatment needed for anaphylactic shock.
“I just wanted to know the word so that people (who give the vaccine) know how to use EpiPen,” he said, adding that “people with allergies need to talk to their (doctors).”
