    POSITION STATEMENTS REGARDING COVID-19 VACCINE ADVERSE REACTIONS
     

    • STATEMENT 1. Adverse reactions to vaccines may occur and can range from reactogenic reactions to
    allergic reactions. A REACTOGENIC REACTION is not the same as an ALLERGIC REACTION.
     

    • STATEMENT 2. Reactogenic reactions are managed with supportive care. Mild allergic reactions can be
    treated with antihistamines. Anaphylaxis should be recognized and managed promptly with
    EPINEPHRINE. Every patient should be observed for at least 30 minutes post-vaccination.
     

    • STATEMENT 3. The ONLY current contraindication to COVID-19 vaccination is a severe immediate


    allergic reaction such as ANAPHYLAXIS to a previous dose
    of COVID-19 vaccine and any of its components.
    What is a reactogenic reaction?
    A reactogenic reaction is an inflammatory
    response that occurs after vaccination.

    What is Allergy?
    An allergy or hypersensitivity reaction is
    an exaggerated immune response to a
    usually harmless substance.
    • LOCAL
    • Pain and swelling on injection site
    • Rash on injection site
    • SYSTEMIC
