TAMPA, Fla. â Some people are cautious about getting the COVID-19 vaccine due to their allergies.
âSpecifically for someone like me that has so many allergies to pretty much everything, I am concerned,â said Michelle Castillo who is waiting for a vaccine.
Doctors tell us having allergies for most people doesnât necessarily mean there will be a problem getting vaccinated for COVID-19.
âLetâs say they took penicillin or amoxicillin one time and they had a little bit of a rash or they had an upset stomach afterwards, that typically is not a contraindication for the vaccine,â said Dr. Laura Arline, Chief Quality Officer of Baycare Health System.
