Well for example in the UK, we have rolled out the Pfizer vaccine and people started having a reaction to it, so now anyone with an allergy cannot have the vaccine and everyone has to be monitored for 15 minutes after taking it, something that should of been picked up during adequate testing.

I don't think this is really a UK-specific issue - it presumably would have come out in this way whoever approved it first (if it was actually a vaccine reaction). It's also rather surprising to me (as a relative layman) that this wasn't picked up during safety trials. I get anaphylactic reactions to some food and medicines and carry an EpiPen. There are a few vaccines which have been counterindicated for me due to this so I have always thought it's a relatively well-known potential side effect from at least some vaccines (and other medicines of course). As such I would have expected it to be looked/checked for during safety trials.

> anyone with an allergy cannot have the vaccine Or "anyone with a history of anaphylaxis to a medicine or food should not get"? Do you have a source for anyone with any allergy being denied the vaccine?
