COVID 19 vaccine.: I didn't understand what "keeled" meant. Here is an article from the CDC about people with allergies. See: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/allergic-reaction.html * It sounds like allergies to polyethylene glycol can be a problem. As stated in articles many people with none vaccine allergies can still get COVID 19 vaccine.
