Britain's medicine regulator has advised that people with a history of significant allergies do not get Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine after two people reported adverse reactions on the first day of rollout.

Who else can't wait to participate in the vaccine lottery?

      “Any person with a history of a significant allergic reaction to a vaccine, medicine or food (such as previous history of anaphylactoid reaction or those who have been advised to carry an adrenaline autoinjector) should not receive the Pfizer BioNtech vaccine,” it said.

      I don't think they know why it's happening.

        Hmm, the only one of my many allergies that has ever made me wonder if I need an epipen is mold, but I've never had a reaction to other vaccines, so?

          Well when your turn comes (which is probably not gonna be very soon) they'll probably know which ingredients are causing the allergy in particular.
