Hi guys.

Kieran has just been offered the Pfizer jab and im a little confused.

He had a severe allergic reaction to penicillin as a child and i was under the impression he couldnt have Pfizer with allergies.

Also can he have this type with Addisons and ALD.

Kieran is 33 and very complex.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Debi, my friend who works for the NHS is also allergic to Penicillin, so she couldn’t have the Pfizer. It might be that because he was tiny when he had the reaction, that they may no longer have that information on his notes. Definitely question it first with your GP before he goes ahead with it.
