If you get allergy shots in both arms every two weeks, how long do i wait after the shot until i can get a covid vaccine?

Maybe no wait: There's probably no need to wait at all, but check with your allergy doc's office to be sure.

COVID 19 vaccine: I checked quite a few sites & didn't see allergen immunotherapy listed as a contraindication to the COVID 19 vaccine. This should not be confused with cancer immunotherapy. Please consult with your allergist.See: https://community.aafa.org/blog/the-covid-19-vaccine-what-we-know-so-far
