Covid Vaccine
Hi, I am having some food allergies from past 6 months. Currently I am taking some medicines to avoid the allergy affects like skin rashes. I took several treatments but nothing actually works, and not able to take better treatments due to Covid outbreak. As per the government guidelines, people from age 18 will be eligible to take covid vaccine. So, being an allergic person with some foods, will it be safe to take the Covid Vaccine.
Attached the reports.
My age is 24 (female)
It looks like you are allergic to a perticular set of aminoacids which are common and in abundance in the food that you are allergic to,as indicated in your test results. It would be safe to first find out the perticular amino acid which is causing the allergy before taking the vaccine. It may be noted that the vaccine may not cause any reactions but if you are allergic to some proteins (large chains of aminoacids)that is a component of the vaccine, it may lead to serve anaphylaxis. Please consult with your immunologist before taking the vaccine.
Next Steps
consult an immunologist.
