I have previously read that people who have serious allergic reactions should not have the COVID vaccine.
This follows two healthcare workers having reactions in the early days of the vaccine rollout.
I have a number of health issues that would mean that if I got infected with COVID19, the consequences would be serious and so I want to get vaccinated.

If you were in my situation, would you be unduly worried about getting a COVID 19 vaccination?
