In response to the pharmacy link: I suffer from alpha-gal allergy and researched mRNA vaccine ingredients prior to getting the Moderna vaccine. I was perfectly fine. There's also a /r/alphagal reddit thread discussing the vaccine they got and reactions where the majority of people said the same.
Classic flu style vaccines like J&J's covid vaccine can use either a pig or chicken egg base - the pig being potentially risky for alpha-gal allergy sufferers and egg theoretically fine. I personally have just avoided the flu vaccine though may try it this year after confirming I can get the egg based one.
The other links are interesting...alpha gal and covid-19 are both very new afflictions which don't have much history of study yet. So I take that info with a grain of salt, though lets hope it leads to some breakthrough for treatment of either COVID19 or AGS.
