ISTANBUL (TR) - There are positive developments in the coronavirus pandemic that the whole world has been struggling with throughout 2020. The conclusion of vaccination studies and the start of vaccination in some countries increase the hopes that the world may return to its old order. In many countries like Turkey, all eyes are on when the vaccine will come and which of them is safe, while many claims about side effects come up in the countries where vaccination has started. Finally, a claim that Covid-19 mRNA vaccines, known as Moderna in the United States, caused an allergic reaction in women who had facial fillers for cosmetic purposes, spread rapidly especially on social media. The explanation for this claim, which causes concern due to the fact that filling application is one of the most common aesthetic methods today came from Op. Dr. Reşit Burak Kayan.

The source of the claim is instantaneous swelling reactions seen in 3 out of 30,400 people

Sharing the details of the report, Kayan said, “In the report dated December 17, 2020 of mRNA vaccines, whose efficiency was announced as 94.5% as a result of studies in the USA, it is seen that the number of people included in the study on this vaccine was 30 thousand 400. At the end of this report, the side effects that occur after vaccination are listed as a table. The source of the allegations about the filling is the instant swelling reactions in the filling area seen in only 3 out of 30 thousand 400 people included in the study. However, it is also stated in the report that this allergic reaction disappeared on the same day as anti-histamine allergy drugs. In addition, no additional findings such as shortness of breath, fainting, and fever were observed in all three patients, except regional swelling. Looking at the medical history of these patients, it is noted that two people had the flu vaccine, and one person experienced similar oedema after filling the application.”

Reactions are not caused by fillers but by allergic body

Stating that there is a serious contamination of information about the side effects of covid vaccines, Op. Dr. Reşit Burak Kayan said, “It is quite possible and natural to have this allergic reaction in only 3 people among 30 thousand 400 people. The main result of this scientific study is that the reactions are not caused by cosmetic facial fillers, but from the person's allergic body. At this point, accepting that mRNA vaccines are more allergenic, I recommend that all individuals with a general allergy history, regardless of filling applications, should be in a full-fledged hospital while getting this vaccine. Individuals with cosmetic fillings and no previous history of allergic reactions can have mRNA vaccines safely and with peace of mind. My wish is that vaccines will be made without relying on the unfounded news and the days we can embrace without social distancing and masks will come back.”
