There were no cases of severe allergic reactions to Pfizer Inc and partner BioNTech SE’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate during clinical trials, a Pfizer executive said at a regulatory conference.
A late-stage trial testing the potential vaccine excluded participants who had a prior history of severe allergic reactions to any vaccine or to the constituents of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, said Dr William Gruber, Pfizer’s senior vice president of vaccine clinical research and development.
We’ve not had any anaphylactic episodes related to the vaccine,” Gruber said during a panel meeting of independent advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
