In CZ - they at 1st didn't want to vax the people who already got ill (and who wanted to be vaxed). But now they changed the approach, seeing how short the immunity can be and the reactions really individually different.
In terms of who wants to be vaxed, I think it is still 50/50 there.

Apparently, a healthcare worker in Alaska recently had a severe allergic reaction to the Pfizer vaccine despite having no history of allergies. He or she required hospitalization after being administered with the allergy treatment epinephrine. Two similar cases had occurred in the UK. Alaskan has allergic reaction after getting Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKBN28Q2LC
I'm certainly not try to scare anyone with that or imply that I think people shouldn't be vaccinated, but before receiving the vaccine, I personally would make sure they have an EpiPen on hand.

No ways. Not another vaccine to pollute my body. I will let my immune system fight it off naturally. What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.

We already had the 2 UK mentioned - they have an extensive history of allergic reactions in both cases and 'got a rash' - hardly anything really to worry about.
There's always the extremely small chance for reaction with any vaccine (or over the counter meds in fact if you have a history of allergies) and that's why they ALWAYS have staff on standby, be that flu, MMR or any other jab when doing vaccination programmes. She may have not had a history in this case and that's your one in a million or so chance of a reaction right there.

When I was getting weekly allergy jabs a couple of decades ago, they always had me wait an half hour afterwords to see if I had a reaction. I never did. I assume they will have epi-pens and adrenaline at hand.

What doesn't kill you, may kill someone else. | | | | | All nonsense. First they create viruses in the lab, then they come up with vaccines for it. Big pharma business in making.

I guess ultimately nature will take it's course one day against adults (and sadly potentially their innocent young families) that don't believe in vaccination. | Quote: | |  | | | I really have a problem understanding , why - why would someone want to get a covid vaccine ?
