Covid vaccine query
Couple of years back in 2019 I was diagnosed with Peritonsillar Abscess. I had to undergo a CT scan of the throat. It was my first CT scan till date. However I had an allergic reaction to the contrast dye used. Whole body was covered with rashes and everything turned red. I was immediately injected with some antidote, probably an anti allergic. This turned normal soon. I was asked to mention this in future whenever any need of CT scan arises. Now, my COVISHEID vaccine is scheduled for 29th May. I don't have any history of allergic reaction apart from the incident mentioned above. Should it be a cause for concern ? As doctors have been asking to keep in mind any sort of allergies that one might have before taking the vaccine. Is there any risk involved?

You should go for the vaccination. Allergy to dye is known to occur in patients. That should not be the reason to avoid Covid vaccination.
