Allergy is rare but may occur.
Therefore IT IS IMPORTANT that the facility is able to address the potential reactions. The hospitals will observe vaccinees for 30 to 60minutes.

<Huwag po basta basta magpabakuna kung saan saan kung hindi kayo mababantayan.>

If you have food allergies, can you get the vaccine?
Bottomline: Yes, you may receive, but speak with your allergist for further evaluation.
(Case to case basis po talaga sa lahat ng gamot at bagay-bagay)

People with immune-compromised conditions MAY get the vaccine as long as they do NOT have severe allergy to a vaccine component & there’s no history of severe allergy to any vaccine or injectable medication.

Kung ang allergy ay MILD at di kaugnay sa COVID Vaccine tulad ng:
•Ibang pagkain (eg seafood)
•Ibang gamot
•Bagay sa paligid (eg pollen)
•Mga gamit (eg sa gloves)
•Maaari pa rin magpabakuna nguni’t ipaalam sa screening stage upang masiguradong kayo ay mababantayan ng 15mins

IMO, mas gugustuhin ko po na makaranas ng expected side effects ng vaccine kaysa magkasakit talaga dahil hindi ako nagpabakuna nung ako ay ma-offeran na. (Nasa huli po lagi ang pagsisisi.)
WHAT IF I DON’T GET SIDE EFFECTS DOES IT MEAN the VACCINE DIDN’T WORK?
ANSWER: NO
•Many more people will get the vaccine and not experience side effects. This does not mean that the vaccine did not work for them.

Sana po kung ma-offeran kayo sa inyong mga ospital/health centers ay tanggapin po ninyo ito. Basta ma-explain ninyo ng mabuti ang mga allergies & other illnesses para makapag-desisyon ng tama kung pwede ba ang vaccine sa inyo.
