Good news in two trustworthy articles for those with anaphylaxis, regarding Covid vaccinations.

[Pollynolongerinagony]

'the MHRA has advised that those with allergies, including anaphylaxis, to a food, medicine, vaccine or insect sting can receive any COVID-19 vaccine, as long as they are not known to be allergic to any component (excipient) of the vaccine.

and

in Pulse Today, Constanza Pearce writes on 5th Jan 2021, 'GPs can now deliver Covid vaccinations to patients with a history of anaphylaxis, NHS England has said.'

When I went for to vaccine centre last Sunday I took a list of all meds and a bit of past history.

The first question was re anaphylatic shock. Did I know why, the answer was yes, pencillin was the culprit. They said, fine there is nothing in any of the vaccines that contains anything that will endanger you in relation to that problem.

I was in and out in less that 10 minutes, no sitting for 15 or 30 mins either the whole experience was like Clockwork.

All praise to local NHS, Local Government Public Health Authority, Pharmacists and GP surgeries.

They are all working together, 'borrowing' local centres, ie Churches etc and using the Nightingale Hospital which had not been used during the outbreak. District Nurses doing vaccinations to the housebound and their patients. No wonder that today it was reported nearly 14 million initial first doses done.

I leave you with this thought, the contrast between this roll-out and ' Track and Trace' (outsourced to private companies). In my eyes, local is best.

Local areas know what needs to be done and all work together, just like mates do when someone needs help.

PS: No re-action whatsoever to AZ , no bruising, no redness, no swelling, zilch.
