Covid Vaccine

[Augie91]

I'm in no rush to get the vaccine because I have food allergies that I have to carry an Epipen for.  Sometimes, I experience mild anaphylaxis where my throat starts to swell.  I have read that with mRna vaccines that people with food allergy issues have had some bad experiences.  Things that required epinephrine injections, intubation, and even hospitalization.  I have never had a flu shot for this reason.  So I'm afraid to get the injection.  My thought are I will let everybody else get the shot, wait and see how the Johnson and Johnson shot roll out goes.  I will probably only get the shot if it is required for travelling purposes.  Having your throat swell isna VERY SCARY situation, I've never had epinephrine injection before, but I've heard it makes your heart race.  With high blood pressure that scares me too.  As a 52 year old who has never got a flu shot, and done okay in that regard I feel this should be treated with the same approach.
