Do allergies affect your suitability of taking the COVID-19 Vaccine?
I am allergic to ampicillin and do not tolerate other antibiotics very well. For instance, erythromycin gives me severe abdominal cramps. Is it safe for me to take the Covid-19 vaccine?

Dear @Fit-me7 The pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 Vaccine is not recommended for patients with a history of anaphylaxis or severe allergies as well as severe drug reactions. You might wish to discuss the degree of your allergy and your suitability for the vaccination with the healthcare team administering the vaccine prior to receiving it. Hope this helps.
