The document discusses allergic reactions to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. It provides statistics on reported cases of anaphylaxis following the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. It examines the proposed mechanisms of allergic reactions related to components like PEG and polysorbates. Guidance is presented from organizations on evaluating and managing risks of allergic reactions for first and second doses. Ongoing studies are exploring the safety of administering second doses to those with initial allergic reactions through methods like skin testing. Updates are also provided on vaccine trials in children and immunocompromised groups that demonstrate safety and efficacy.
Allergic disorders are on rise with increase in urbanization, improved personal hygiene & more people migrating in search of jobs, better opportunities. Diagnosis of allergy can aid the clinician is appropriate counselling of the patient for avoidance of specific allergens & if required prescribe appropriate immunotherapy.

Antibacterial therapy in COVID-19 patients - an evidence based guidelineDr Jay Prakash
Overuse of antibiotics, delivery of tests and procedures that have little or no clinical benefit is a huge problem in health care, and one that has gained much more attention over the past decade. But despite efforts to reduce overuse like Choosing Wisely, rates of low-value care have barely budged.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

anaphylaxis: A statement of the
World Allergy Organization
Anaphylaxis Committee
26. Individuals who develop a systemic allergic reaction to a vaccine should
not receive a second dose of that vaccine, nor a vaccine with similar excipients.
For example, patients who react with systemic symptoms of the Pfizer BioNTech
vaccine should not be given a second dose of this vaccine, nor should they receive a
dose of the Moderna vaccine which is also a mRNA-based vaccine which contains
PEG. Although data are not currently available as to protection offered using a
combination of different vaccines, current UK advice is that the AstraZeneca
vaccine can be used as an alternative (if not otherwise contraindicated, for
example, in a patient with a proven allergy to polysorbate 80).
World Allergy Organ J. 2021 Feb;14(2):100517.
27. Advice from the British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology
(BSACI) (and published by Public Health England) advises that individuals who
develop just a localized urticarial skin reaction (without systemic symptoms)
to the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine should receive the second dose using
the same vaccine, in a setting with full resuscitation facilities (eg, a hospital);
a 30 min observation period is advised.

42. AAAAI COVID-19 Response Task Force Guidance on Administration
of COVID-19 Vaccines Related to Concerns of Allergic Reactions
• All COVID-19 vaccines should be administered in a facility where each person
can be monitored for at least 15 minutes with treatment readily available for
anaphylaxis. Anyone with a history of non-anaphylactic reactions to food, oral
medication, latex, environmental, or venom allergens can safely receive either the
Pfizer or Moderna vaccine in this manner.
• Anyone with a history of anaphylaxis to food, oral medication, latex,
environmental, or venom allergies can receive either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine
without any precautions other than a recommended 30-minute observation period.

Guidance Prior to the First COVID-19 Vaccine Dose
43. AAAAI COVID-19 Response Task Force Guidance on Administration
of COVID-19 Vaccines Related to Concerns of Allergic Reactions
• Anyone with a history of immediate onset hypersensitivity reactions (urticaria,
wheezing, angioedema, anaphylaxis) to any prior vaccine or injected medication can
receive either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine with a recommended 30-minute
observation period.
• Anyone with known and proven IgE mediated reactions to PEG or polysorbate
are currently advised to avoid the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Given the rarity of
allergies to these ingredients, it is unlikely for anyone to have this known allergy, unless
specifically evaluated by a board certified allergist and confirmed with prior skin
testing.

44. AAAAI COVID-19 Response Task Force Guidance on Administration
of COVID-19 Vaccines Related to Concerns of Allergic Reactions
• If a person experienced delayed onset symptoms, including
rash, swelling, lymphadenopathy, fever, fatigue, etc., then
- they should not be considered at increased risk for anaphylaxis with
the second dose
- skin testing to vaccine components is not indicated in these
situations
Guidance Prior to the Second COVID-19 Vaccine Dose
https://education.aaaai.org/resources-for-a-i-clinicians/reactionguidance_COVID-19 Accessed on 24 Mar 2022
45. AAAAI COVID-19 Response Task Force Guidance on Administration
of COVID-19 Vaccines Related to Concerns of Allergic Reactions
• If the history is highly suggestive for possible IgE-mediated
reaction to the first COVID-19 vaccine dose, then evaluation by an
allergist should be considered. Shared decision making regarding
risks and benefits of receiving a second dose should be discussed,
including options to
1) avoid,
2) receive under physician supervision, or
3) evaluation with skin testing.
Guidance Prior to the Second COVID-19 Vaccine Dose

46. AAAAI COVID-19 Response Task Force Guidance on Administration
of COVID-19 Vaccines Related to Concerns of Allergic Reactions
• Given the speculation surrounding potential reactions to PEG or
polysorbate, skin testing protocols with non-irritant concentrations
have been published for the allergist to consider as part of their
evaluation, but are not validated or currently recommended in every
situation.
Although these vaccines do not contain polysorbate, there are
reports of cross-reactivity with PEG and future vaccines do contain
polysorbate.
Guidance Prior to the Second COVID-19 Vaccine Dose
https://education.aaaai.org/resources-for-a-i-clinicians/reactionguidance_COVID-19 Accessed on 24 Mar 2022
47. AAAAI COVID-19 Response Task Force Guidance on Administration
of COVID-19 Vaccines Related to Concerns of Allergic Reactions
• Skin testing to the vaccine is of unclear utility in evaluating
possible allergic reactions to these vaccines. The validity of this
approach has not been proven, nor have non-irritant
concentrations been determined. Further, from a public health
standpoint, the stock of vaccines is limited and (at this time) is
likely better used for vaccinations rather than evaluation of
potential reactions.
