Greetings! Thank you for your questions.
First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing. For your information, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get vaccinated even if they have a history of severe allergic reactions not related to vaccines or injectable medications which may include allergy to food, venom, environmental, latex or pet. Individual with a history of allergies to some oral medications or a family history of severe allergic reactions may also get innoculated.
It does not matter which vaccine you receive, because for now, any type of COVID-19 vaccine is better than not getting the vaccination at all. Nevertheless, it is better that you get further confirmation from a doctor or specialist at a nearby clinic or hospital, as well as report to the medical officer at your Vaccination Center.
You can also contact the Crisis Preparedness and Response Center (CPRC) or JKJAV. In addition, continue the routine of regular hand hygiene, practice social/physical incarceration, wear face masks outdoors and adhere to other pandemic SOPs.
