British health officials on Dec 9 (2020) warned that anyone with a history of significant allergic reactions should not take the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for the time being.

The warning came after two members of the United Kingdom’s National Health Service (NHS), who were among the first to receive the vaccine the day before (Dec 8, 2020), suffered allergic reactions and needed treatment.
