A member asked:
If i've had severe allergic reactions to vaccines in the past, does that mean i should avoid covid vaccine?

Maybe/not. You did not describe what you mean by severe reaction. Some vaccines share similar preservatives in trace amounts that some may react to, yet these new vaccines may/not have whatever sets your system into the reaction mode. You should discuss all your prior reactions with your regular doc and see if, based on your personal data, you should or should not avoid these.

An allergy consult is recommended. Have all the details of specific vaccination reactions, vaccine administration date and reaction dates available. Components of vaccinations vary and it may still be possible to safely receive the COVID 19 vaccination. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available to review your records.
