I too am allergic to Bee Stings. Is that going to put us in a risk group to not get the vaccine? Thanks for any light you can shed on that for me. Bonnie

@bonniewhite56 I'm also allergic to bee venoms plus various other types of allergies. I mentioned it to my primary physician. She said it was up to me whether I wanted to get vaccinated or not because not everybody with allergies, whether severe ones or mild ones, will have bad reactions. But she did say that if I decided to be vaccinated I should tell the people there what types of allergies that I had and make sure that I would stay around for at least 15 minutes before leaving in case there would be reactions. I have also read online that the places where the vaccines are administered are all well aware of this issue by now and would be prepared to take action if someone does have a bad reaction to the shot. So I for one am not too concerned about it and would not miss the opportunity to get vaccinated, although my husband and I have not been contacted by our doctors' office just yet. We are both qualified but things are not moving as fast as everybody likes due to shortage of supplies.

My daughter & I are both allergic to bee stings (as well as other things) and have both had the Pfizer vaccine without issue.
