MOH: 3 People in S’pore Experienced Severe Allergic Reaction to COVID-19 Vaccine

Three people out of the more than 113,000 people who have received the Covid-19 vaccine in Singapore have experienced anaphylaxis.

The individuals are in their 20s and 30s, according to the Ministry of Health (MOH).

They experienced multiple symptoms such as rash, breathlessness, lip swelling, throat tightness, and giddiness.

Strangely, none of these individuals had a history of anaphylaxis.

But they did have a history of allergies, including allergic rhinitis and food allergies such as to shellfish.
