Can anyone clarify what "allergies" mean in this context?
I have a (now really mild) allergy to some pollen; as s child it made me miserable for two months (late April to early June) with nose constantly running, puffy eyes.
Now I barely sneeze twice a day and only in some specific areas... never got tested so I don't know which plant I am allergic to (and if it is the plant getting extinct or my body getting better at handling it).
Would this prevent me from taking the vaccine?

- XorNot 6y agoDo you have a chicken egg allergy, or have had a significant reaction to any b other vaccine? The former and you probably can't take the vaccines being rolled out at all, the latter and you need to proceed cautiously.
- Exmoor 6y agoThe Pfizer vaccine is not egg-based. I don't believe any of the three in late stage trials are, actually.
- OJFord 6y agoNo I assume pollen's fine, I would maybe double check literally at the point being administered with personally, but the news was about severe reactions, anaphylactic shock, people that need to worry about what's in what they eat. And it came up 'in production' because they didn't have anyone in the trial with such an allergy; surely they had plenty of hayfever in there, statistically.
