@colleenyoung My doctor's advice was that since I have asthma and am over 60, I would be at increased risk if I was unvaccinated and caught Covid, so he did recommend vaccination. I consulted him after having the allergic reaction to the first m-rna shot. He said that as a precaution to another potential allergic response, he thought I could have a 2nd m-rna dose if I used an antihistamine and 3000 MG of vitamin C as well as my asthma inhalers before getting the 2nd dose. Even with that advise, I was not allowed to get a 2nd dose because they could not confirm this was his recommendation and no one was answering the office phone at the time. It was a few weeks later that the J & J was being released, so I opted for that after I tested if I would react to Polysorbate 80. I discussed that with my doctor and had him write me a note in case I was challenged again by the gatekeepers.
