Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine regarding allergies and anaphylaxis
Just like Moderna and Pfizer, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can cause allergic reactions, too. There are two types of allergic reactions: non-severe and severe reactions (anaphylaxis).
Non-severe allergic reactions refer to experiencing swelling, reach, hives, and respiratory issues. On the other hand, severe reactions imply difficulty breathing, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, rash, and swelling of the throat and face.
This is what we know as anaphylaxis response.
