Two workers at an Alaska hospital suffered allergic reactions after receiving Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine this week, and one was kept for observation for at least two nights, hospital representatives said.

 

The hospitalized worker's reaction was more serious but not life-threatening, doctors said: She felt flushed within the first 10 minutes of receiving the vaccine Tuesday at Bartlett Regional Hospital in Juneau and later reported symptoms including shortness of breath and elevated heart rate.

The second Bartlett health care worker was treated for less severe symptoms after being injected Wednesday, felt fine within an hour and was released, hospital officials said.

 

The first worker was initially held in the vaccine monitoring area right after receiving the shot Tuesday and took a Benadryl, said Dr. Lindy Jones, an attending physician at Bartlett Memorial Hospital. When she reported shortness of breath, she was taken to the emergency room.

 

She was almost recovered after a night in the intensive care unit, Jones said. Later Wednesday, she still was recovering well but would remain another night in the hospital, representatives there said.

"She was still enthusiastic that she got the vaccine and the benefits it would give her in the future," Jones said.

 

The second worker "experienced eye puffiness, light headedness, and scratchy throat 10 minutes after being injected with the vaccine" Wednesday, the hospital said in a news release.

 

Like the first worker, the second "does not want his experience to have a negative impact on his colleagues lining up for the vaccine," the statement reads.
