\u201cIf you are allergic to any component of the vaccine, you are advised not to take it,\u201d said DAK President and influenza expert Dr Nisar ul Hassan.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, if you have<\/em> <\/em><\/span><\/span>history of allergic reactions that aren\u2019t related to Covid-19 vaccine such as food, medicine, latex, insects and environmental triggers, you can have the vaccine,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Dr Hassan said there are two Covid-19 vaccines that are being used in Kashmir right now \u2013 Covaxin and Covishield which have two-dose schedule given as an injection in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Covaxin contains inactivated\/killed coronavirus and the other ingredients of the vaccine<\/em> <\/em><\/span><\/span>are<\/em> <\/em><\/span><\/span>Aluminum hydroxide gel, TLR 7\/8 agonist (imidazoquinolinone), 2-phenoxyethanol, and phosphate buffered saline.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Covishield contains weakened adenovirus encoding Covid-19 spike protein. The other components in the vaccine are L-histidine, L-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, magnesium chloride hexahydrate, polysorbate 80, ethanol, sucrose, sodium chloride, disodium edetate dihydrate and water for injection.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are allergic to any of the aforementioned compounds, you should avoid the vaccine,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The DAK President said in case you were earlier not aware of your allergy to the ingredients in the vaccine and you have already taken the first dose and developed allergic reaction, you should not take the second dose of that vaccine.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCDC recommends that people who have got allergic reaction to the first dose of one vaccine can get second dose from a different vaccine,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBut these persons should have the vaccine in a setting able to treat anaphylaxis. And, they should be observed for at least 30 minutes after the injection to monitor any severe allergic reaction,\u201d said Dr Nisar.<\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAllergic reaction can cause rashes, swelling, hives and discomfort. And in severe cases it can cause drop in blood pressure, throat swelling and respiratory distress,\u201d he said<\/em><\/span>. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
