My 8 years old daughter seems to have some sort of allergy. she clears her throat often and has very minor cough for weeks. no fever. is it ok for her to get covid-19 vaccine 1st shot like this or we must wait until this all clears up?

Allergy testing is available with lab/blood testing. The testing will help to determine whether she has specific allergic responses to triggers such as mold and dust. Watch for signs of nasal congestion, sneezing and red eyes. Nasal saline rinses may relieve symptoms or post nasal drip. If there is a fever, please see your pediatrician. COVID 19 vaccination is fine with mild seasonal allergy.

Please discuss this with her pediatrician and consider having her examined to see if it is in fact an allergy vs an infectious process. There is no reason if it is allergy or minor illness without fever to delay COVID-19 vaccine.
