My wife who is a nurse, had covid back in march, found out from an antibody blood test, and she lost her smell at that time. she cant have the new vaccine in the uk due to her allergies. is she protected at all do you think? im so worried for her?

Allergic reactions: She may have Benadryl with the vaccine to help to control the reaction. If offered the vaccine, please discuss with your GP. There have been rare allergic reactions to the vaccine, but it is generally quite safe. The vaccine may be administered in a clinical setting and she may be observed.

COVID reinfection: There is a lot we have to learn about this virus. After the initial infection "there is evidence reinfection is unlikely during the three months following a COVID-19 infection."
