- saller 6y agoDo you have seasonal allergies? Does anyone you know have seasonal allergies? Then congrats, you "ha[ve] a history of allergic reactions". This is meaningless. Moreover, we were assured that the vaccine is safe for everyone to take—by the same folks who told us masks don't work, sure, but we are trusting the science here!

Everyone has been pretty clear that if you have a history of the latter you should have a talk with your physician about risks and benefits.
