Hi your history tells us it could be Anaphylaxis sort of allergy which is a severe form .This is definitely not to scare you or to stop you from vaccination but to guide you to take vaccination in a tertiary care hospital which has got an ICU to manage emergencies.Let you remain in the vaccinated center atleast for 2hours after the shot.
Let you have a safe vaccination.
