Recent reports of allergic reactions to the Pfizer-BioNTech and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have resulted in questions about how and to whom they can be safely administered. Although anaphylaxis was not observed in clinical trials for either vaccine, there have been 21 reported possible cases of anaphylaxis associated with the Pfizer vaccine (11.1 cases per million doses administered) and 10 possible cases associated with the Moderna vaccine (2.5 anaphylaxis cases per million doses administered). ⋯ The overall incidence of anaphylaxis to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is very low. By following recommendations from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an overwhelming majority of the US population can be safely immunized.

Sex Differences in Stroke Hospitalization Incidence, 30-Day Mortality, and Readmission in a Regional Medical Center in the Southwestern United States.
This study explores sex differences in ischemic stroke hospitalization incidence, 30-day mortality, and 30-day readmission in a southwestern US medical center. ⋯ Men experienced higher stroke hospitalization incidence, although women exhibited higher 30-day mortality. Age composition explained sex differences in mortality, but higher male stroke hospitalization incidence represents a larger public health issue that suggests the need for behavioral change at the population level. No meaningful sex differences emerged in treatment, mortality, or readmission.
