Allergy doesn’t prohibit vaccination unless that allergy is to a vaccine or to its ingredients (Photo: Shutterstock)
Some of my friends have been asking me if they can have the Covid vaccination if they have allergies like hayfever. The answer is, yes, they can, despite concerns being raised when two healthcare workers had reactions to the jab in December.
However, both had a history of severe allergies and even carried EpiPens for emergencies.
At the end of December, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency issued a statement after reviewing more than a million doses here and in North America.
