Pan recommended that providers halt the administration of one batch of the Moderna vaccine \u2018out of an extreme abundance of caution\u2019 after it caused an allergic reaction in less than ten people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018While no vaccine or medical procedure is without risk, the risk of a serious adverse reaction is very small,\u2019 the California Department of Health wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018While less data exists on adverse reactions related to the Moderna vaccine, a similar vaccine shows that the expected rate of anaphylaxis is approximately 1 in 100,000.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The vaccines are known to have some side effects, which include tiredness, headache, chills, and a fever, but these are \u2018normal signs your body is building protection\u2019 and should go away in a few days, the CDC said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the death of the person in Placer County, Dr. Dean Blumberg, an infectious disease expert at UC Davis Children\u2019s hospital, told KTLA people should not be too quick to place blame.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Many people are going to make the connection with the vaccine because of the timing,\u2019 he said. \u2018[My] first inclination is that it\u2019s probably not related to the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We know that the severe allergic reactions that occur following immunization, the vast majority of those occur 15-30 minutes following immunization,\u2019 Blumberg said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that if the death occurred several hours after receiving the vaccine it\u2019s \u2018probably not the severe allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, that we worry about.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The nation\u2019s leading infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, recommends that people who have tested positive for the virus should not get tested until at least 90 days after their date of initial infection.<\/p>\n<p>As of Sunday morning, 41,411,550 vaccine doses have been distributed and 20,537,990 have been administered nationwide.
