COVID vaccine bedside testing

Bedside allergy test of the covid vaccine was performed to rule out a hypersensitivity reaction to the vaccine as well as the cryopreservative PEG.
The patient tolerated the vaccine without any side-effects.
Allergy testing was performed since she had experienced a severe anaphylactic reaction after receiving a swine-flu shot many years ago.

Heute aus dem Kantonsspital Baden: «Bed-side» Allergie (Prick) Testung vor «COVID» Impfung zum Ausschluss einer schweren allergischen Reaktion auf den Impfstoff sowie auf «PEG» (Kryopräservierungsmittel). «+» ist die Positivkontrolle (Histamin), «-» die Negativkontrolle (NaCl).
Die nachfolgende COVID Impfung hat der Patient in der Folge problemlos vertragen.
Die Allergie Testung erfolgte, da die betroffene Person Jahren zuvor eine schwere anaphylaktische Reaktion auf Schweine-Grippe Impfung erlebt hatte.
