One of the things my county's public health spokesperson commented on, in his Friday fb live video, was a little known fact that those who have an allergy to bees may have a bit more reaction to the vaccine, than others. Very interesting that noone else has mentioned it!

I am allergic to bee stings!

Oops, Ginger! I'm allergic to bees, too. Got the Maderno vaccine last Tuesday. No side effects.....maybe it's the Phizer that's the culprit...or maybe I'm not allergic anymore....or maybe???There's so much we don't know, but I'm fine and making antibodies, I believe!

@gingerw; @ess77: - GOod morning. I think that the most important thing that you can do is discuss this with your PCP's. I would make sure that everyone involved with your vaccine is aware of your history with your allergies. So far there is no known connection between the vaccines and eggs or bee stings. Also, there is conflicting advice about whether people with major allergic reactions, like anaphylaxis, should be inoculated or not. I have read that if you choose to have the vaccine then you must tell the vaccinators your history so that they can be prepared to treat you if you do have a reaction. Another thought that just came to my mind is asking yourself if you want to take the chance of an allergic reaction that really stresses your body and immune system.

Again, all of these factors should be mulled over very seriously and discussed with your PCP and probably your specialists. Make sense?
