Some officials in the healthcare community have expressed concerns about resistance against this vaccine; however, both the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines have engendered allergic reactions in certain individuals.

Reports of anaphylaxis, allergic reactions, and fainting after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine concerned many people; these adverse side effects also raised questions about the vaccine’s safety, especially due to the rapid timeframe of its production.

Will the coronavirus vaccine become mandatory?

Despite the documented adverse side effects that some recipients experienced after vaccination against COVID-19, some leaders still harbor frustration with first responders’ reluctance.

This frustration is leading to talks of potential mandates for firefighters and other frontline workers to receive the vaccine. Mandatory vaccination is highly controversial, however; many Americans on the right-wing oppose it. Some people also believe that coronavirus vaccine mandates will backfire and only deepen mistrust towards this injection.
