If im allergic to eggs is it a bad idea to get a covid shot?the last time i had a flu shot my arm swelled up for wks. never get the flu anyways or covid, i havent gotten sick in about 13 yrs, i heard you can still get covid even with the shot?

The available covid vaccines are not prepared in nor do they contain any egg byproducts. They are safe for anyone with egg allergies. The 2 most prominent vaccines reduce risk of covid by about 95%. If they are kissing on a covid carrier the exposure might be risky to that 5% but I wouldn't put you at specific risk to the vaccine. You are at risk from covid, which will be around for years to come.

The mRNA vaccines do not contain eggs - so that should not be an issue. The COVID 19 vaccine does not protect 100% against getting COVID 19 but if you take a look at immunity rates for vaccinations in this country it is a huge improvement over not being vaccinated.
