Can my brother get Dose 2 after the AstraZeneca reaction?

Question

Hello doctor,

My brother had a high fever, sweat, difficulty breathing, and dizziness 12 hours after the AstraZeneca vaccine and had to rush to the hospital.

Can he get the second dose?

Please help.

Answer 1

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query.

Are you sure it is due to the COVID-19 vaccine? Since it is a late-onset reaction, make sure there is no other cause. Did he have any other allergies, like drugs or food? If you believe that it was related to the vaccine, do not take a second dose. It may be a late-onset reaction to the vaccine.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest not taking the second dose. It may cause a severe reaction this time. Any vaccine can have the risk of a reaction. We cannot predict. Ideally, it is not advisable to take any vaccine once you get an allergy to one type. Still, consult with your local physician, and try Sinopharm.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
