Hi. I understand your concerns . First point is there is no option about which vaccine to take as whichever vaccine is available at registered centre will be given . Second thing allergy here means having history of allergic reaction to any vaccine taken before. Finally taking or not taking vaccine is a individual decision . As as of now no data about covid or covid vaccine is confirmatory.
