In the fight against COVID-19, one of the most effective weapons we have is the vaccines that are currently being administered around the world. Almost every major health organization, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the World Health Organization and health expert, encourages everyone to roll up their sleeves and take it in if it is their turn – almost everyone does. If you have one condition in particular, you should avoid the COVID-19 vaccine until further notice. Read on to find out what it is – and do not miss it to ensure your health and the health of others Sure signs that you already have Coronavirus.
Late last year, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to the president and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, revealed that anyone who has experienced severe allergic reactions should think twice before getting the COVID vaccine.
‘What the people of Pfizer are saying is that if you have a severe allergic reaction, do not take the vaccine, or take it, take it in the context of a place where you have an allergic reaction, it can readily and be treated effectively, ”Fauci said in a CNBC Healthy Returns Livestream. Keep reading to see what the CDC has to say.
The CDC agrees and devotes an entire page to it COVID-19 Vaccines and allergic reactions.
‘If you have had an immediate allergic reaction – even if it was not serious – to a vaccine or injectable treatment for another disease, ask your doctor if you should get a COVID-19 vaccine. Your doctor will help you decide if it is safe to be vaccinated, ‘they explain.
In addition, those with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polysorbate allergy should also avoid it. ‘These recommendations include allergic reactions to PEG and polysorbate. Polysorbate is not a component of any mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, but is closely related to PEG, which is present in the vaccines. “People who are allergic to PEG or polysorbate should not get an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine,” they explain.
However, if you have a history of severe allergic reactions not related to vaccines or injectable medicines – such as food, pet, poison, environmental or latex allergies, you should be vaccinated. “People with a history of allergies to oral medications or a family history of severe allergic reactions can also be vaccinated.”
“When you deal with a situation – with an intervention, as rare as it may be, you can never assure someone that they would not have an allergic reaction,” said Dr. ‘People who are prone to an allergic reaction, especially anaphylactic reaction, are more likely to have an allergic reaction to a vaccine. But if you look at the allergic reactions that have just been reported in the scientific literature, there are between four and five per million vaccinations with the Pfizer and between two and three per million vaccinations with the Moderna. If you have a history of allergic reaction – if it’s an allergic reaction to something you definitely contain in the vaccine, you may want to wait for another vaccine, but if you only have one allergic person to food and other things, you can be vaccinated, but you should do it in a situation where you are in a place where someone can handle and treat an allergic reaction, rather than having it in a place where there was no way to to get an allergic reaction. for it must be treated, but it is an unusual, not uncommon event, based on the numbers I just told you. ‘
Nothing was compromised while making the vaccine, and it is safe, says Dr. Fauci, despite being created in record time. ‘The speed was not at all the sacrifice of safety. “The speed was a reflection of extraordinary advances in the science of vaccine platform technology,” Fauci told George Stephanopoulos on ABC. “People are therefore understandably skeptical about speed, but we must continue to emphasize speed, which means that the science was extraordinary that we got here,” he said.

In short: talk to your doctor before getting the vaccine if you suffer from allergies. So follow Fauci’s principles and help end this pandemic, no matter where you live – wear a face mask it fits well and is double layer, do not travel, social distance, avoid large crowds, do not go indoors with people you do not shelter with (especially in pubs), practice good hand hygiene, be vaccinated if available to you, and to to protect you and others’ lives, do not visit any of these things 35 places you are likely to catch COVID.
