I’d be curious about this as well. I was on a medication previously that had a rare chance of causing Stevens-Johnson syndrome (very severe rash with other possible complications). I did some research on it, and the standard approach for the medication is to titrate patients up slowly, and if anyone has a serious reaction they back off to a lower dose and “rechallenge” with a good success rate.
Not sure if something like that is possible with the vaccine and patients who have an allergic reaction but I’d be curious to find out if a similar approach of “rechallenging” would work.
- jcims 6y agoMy wife had the anaphylactic reaction to doxil they mentioned in the article. I didn’t know the details but they said it was the ’carrier’ causing the reaction. They just started titrating the dose in the future and it was fine. They still watched her like a hawk though.
