I have included below a part of Constanza's article , which clarifies in which circumstances people who have previously experienced anaphylaxis should :

a) only have the Oxford vaccine, b) who would require 30 minutes observation on the second dose with full resuscitation facilities such as hospital, c) who can have a different second vaccine to the first dose.

I hope this is of help and hope to all of us EpiPen holders, and I for one will be emailing this article to my lovely Doctor. They just don't always have the time to keep abreast of the latest information, so it helps if we do our own research from trusted sources, and help ourselves as much and as safely as possible.

As ever, await guidance from our forum experts , with thanks, Polly
