Allergies and the Covid vaccines
Comments (12)My ears perked up with this as I do have a shellfish allergy. From what I understand, the reactions was from people with severe allergies, and they were treated and fine. I will make sure to declare my allergies when I get the shot. I have not had any reactions to other vaccines (I got hep A and B vaccines last year, and had no issues) I used to eat shellfish and then one time about 25 years ago, after eating shrimp I broke out in crazy hives. I had no idea what was going on, as the hives came out a day after and kept going. I had never had this reaction before and actually thought maybe it was chicken pox. It was very uncomfortable, but no issues with breathing. I was tested later on and confirmed that I am allergic to shellfish. So of course, I avoid it . I have no problem if someone at the table is eating it as long as I don't....See MoreCOVID vaccines and shingles
Comments (25)<There are reports of skin reactions over arms, trunk, abdomen, also showing up about 5-7 days; however, not published yet.> I had this reaction, including rashes on the tops of my feet, and they showed up about 3-5 days after my vaccination and lasted more than two weeks before subsiding. I mentioned this to the technician when I got my second shot, and she told me that this is a common reaction and that I should wait 30 minutes instead of 15 minutes after my shot before leaving the building. After my second shot, the rashes have gotten worse again, but not as bad as with the first round. I was told to take Benedryl for the rash. At first she told me to take Claritin, but I told her that I have an allergy to that. If I take Claritin for 5 days straight, I develop schizophrenic symptoms, with what would be paranoid delusions, except that I recognize them as delusions brought on by something I have taken. I get the same reaction to Erythromycin, and so I do not take that either....See MoreCovid vaccine - what kind of facility did you or will you get it at?
Comments (77)We're Kaiser members, altho they suggest signing up with the county as well and just taking the first appt that comes up. We're both over 65 so just got our 2nd shots with Kaiser. Takes a bit of standing in line, but they're pretty efficient about it overall. No worse than waiting for a flu shot at peak times, LOL. One volunteer gives her own speech in the after-shot waiting area. I was told this but my spouse, who went on a much more crowded weekend, did NOT get told this by other volunteers working that day: SAVE THAT WHITE CARD! Even if you get a shot from Kaiser or Blue Shield (or wherever), this is a federal vaccination program. This card is the ONLY proof you will have that you have been partially/fully vaccinated. Zip, nada, nothing else. If you lose it, it CANNOT be replaced. There is no federal identification database - V-safe, the CDC's cellphone app (which is strictly voluntary sign-up), only tracks side effects per mfg type/batch # for statistical purposes. Thus, even tho we got our shots through Kaiser (showing our membership cards etc.) our assigned GPs were not involved nor aware of our vaccinations. Due to HIPAA regulations and the fact this is a federal program, Kaiser cannot issue any card replacement for its members. I would assume it is the same for any Blue Shield recipients, et. al. The volunteer suggested taking a photo of front and back of the card with your cellphone camera, so it's easily accessible. She keeps her card with her passport, in a safe place. I thought this was useful info, so hope it's of help to others....See MoreQuestion for those that had Pfizer vax
Comments (57)I had mine yesterday afternoon - more arm soreness than the first go round. I did wake up about 5am today with chills and feeling like I could stay in bed all day. Took some acetaminophen and ibuprofen and feeling a bit better. I did still have a low grade fever two hours after the acetaminophen. I thought this might be like Shingrix and so far that is the case. ETA: I felt tired and a bit chilled and achy the day after my jab and had a low grade fever. Second day now and I am completely back to normal. I thought ibuprofen relieved symptoms better than acetaminophen....See MoreUser
