From The New York Times via informationliberation:
Two health care workers at the same hospital in Alaska developed concerning reactions just minutes after receiving Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine this week, including one staff member who was to remain hospitalized until Thursday.
Health officials said that the cases would not disrupt their vaccine rollout plans and that they were sharing the information for the sake of transparency.
The first worker, a middle-aged woman who had no history of allergies, had an anaphylactic reaction that began 10 minutes after receiving the vaccine at Bartlett Regional Hospital in Juneau on Tuesday, a hospital official said. She experienced a rash over her face and torso, shortness of breath and an elevated heart rate.
Dr. Lindy Jones, the hospital’s emergency department medical director, said the worker was first given a shot of epinephrine, a standard treatment for severe allergic reactions. Her symptoms subsided but then re-emerged, and she was treated with steroids and an epinephrine drip.
When doctors tried to stop the drip, her symptoms re-emerged yet again, so the woman was moved to the intensive care unit, observed throughout the night, then weaned off the drip early Wednesday morning, Dr. Jones said. ..snip..

I almost croaked from the anesthesia I was given during a day surgery - had a severe reaction to it. By the evening I was almost fully recovered - woke up with a pipe down my throat thinking, wha happened??(as the surgery was never performed)
Nurse said you went into anaphylactic shock and started swelling up like a pumkpin, and rushed into critical care.
No way? Is it too late for something ta eat? :P
Next day a string of doctors came into the room, all with expressions of amazement because they said it was a miracle I was alive. I think a lot of them got religion that day, it was pretty cool. I was like, well get me outta this bed!
And the IV must’ve helped me to pass a lousy stone that had been bothering me - Bonus!
