The vaccine super center in San Diego’s Petco Park began turning people away after six people experienced “allergic reactions” from Moderna’s mRNA injection.
“It was the clustering of individuals having apparent allergic reactions that in an abundance of caution, they slowed things down to be able to address” the incident, said San Diego’s Deputy Public Health Officer Eric McDonald during a press conference on Friday.
County health officials pulled the batch of Moderna vaccines from distribution at the center, claiming it was “surprising” to see so many adverse reactions in such a short time, NBC 7 San Diego reported.
However, county officials added that adverse reactions are “expected to happen” during this type of “mass vaccination campaign,” just not in such a short period of time.
