Two Irish patients with adrenal insufficiency had life-threatening reactions after Covid-19 vaccination, requiring emergency care.
Irish doctors report two older adults with adrenal insufficiency, including Addison’s disease, experienced life-threatening adrenal crises within hours of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine, requiring emergency treatment with IV steroids and fluids.
Both had prior histories of adrenal crisis, with one having a prior episode after a previous vaccine.
While the vaccine remains recommended for high-risk individuals, no guidelines currently advise adjusting steroid doses around vaccination.
Doctors emphasize the need to inform patients about potential risks, educate them on sick day management, and seek prompt care if symptoms arise to maintain confidence in vaccination.
