FOX NEWS/The CDC said Saturday that it learned of severe allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, and now recommends if a person has “ever had a severe allergic reaction to any ingredient in a COVID-19 vaccine,” then they “should not get that specific vaccine.”
This does not mean that everyone with bad allergies is barred from getting it.
“CDC recommends that people with a history of severe allergic reactions not related to vaccines or injectable medications—such as allergies to food, pet, venom, environmental, or latex—may still get vaccinated,” the CDC writes on its website.
