Alone together, civil war, same difference, unbiased opinion, and the "hindsight is always 20/20" feels oxymoronic. What space will excipients occupy in our consciousness in the next decade?
5. Confirmed allergic
reactions to
vaccines are not
frequently
attributed to the
active
ingredients but
rather to the
excipients. Why?
◦ Immediate hypersensitivity to PEG has
been reported, including life-threatening
allergic reactions

of anaphylaxis in vaccines: analyzing the formulations
of the current authorized COVID-19 vaccines. J

EXPECTED?
The incidence rate of confirmed anaphylaxis in this
study is larger than that reported by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention based on passive
spontaneous reporting methods (0.025-0.11/10 000
vaccinations). 2% reported some allergic symptoms;
however, severe reactions consistent with anaphylaxis
occurred at a rate of 2.47 per 10 000 vaccinations.
