According to a newspaper report, the corona vaccine from the US corporation Moderna caused a serious allergic reaction in a Boston doctor.

The oncologist at Boston Medical Center, who is allergic to shellfish, reported in the New York Times that he felt dizzy and had a racing heart immediately after the vaccination on Thursday.

A Boston Medical Center spokesman said the doctor had been treated and is now out of the hospital.

“He's fine.” It is the first public case of an allergic reaction to the Moderna vaccine, which has been approved in the US for a week.

Immediately before the start of the corona vaccinations, FDP chairman Christian Lindner sees room for improvement.

"We are not adequately prepared for vaccination," he said.

The FDP would have liked a clear legal basis for this, because such important questions of life and death should be resolved on a broad basis.

"When it comes to the question of logistics, we should use the resident medical area as soon as possible in addition to the vaccination centers, so that we can make rapid progress with the vaccination."

According to the RKI, almost 14,500 new infections with the coronavirus were recorded in Germany within one day.

China reported 20 new infections.
