I'm having the vaccine when it comes out poll

[andipandi]

The word ‘allergies’ is used in too broad a way these days. A true allergic reaction can be potentially deadly, like if someone allergic to nuts inadvertently eats something they didn’t realise has nuts in. I have a sensitivity to some perfumes, so used only unperfumed products to wash myself and my clothes with - otherwise I get dermatitis. That kind of sensitivity is often described as an allergy these days too. I doubt the trial included anyone with the potentially life-threatening type of allergy.

Correct, in terms of the covid vaccine the wording they have used is significant allergies, they need to be far more specific by way of explanation, we ( obviously very much including my wife and I) don't want or need another type of " What is a substantial meal" debate, this is far too serious. Day to day life is a complex military style operation in this home, keeping shall I say, the bugs out of her system. I think one of the vaccines will most likely and eventually be suitable for almost everyone, even including my wife, well, that is the hope. I know there are a lot of people in the Anaphylaxis\ Allergy support community who are quite gutted (and worried) at the news today.

What is your point, forget about allergies and the like, just have the vaccine and see what happens?

Have you ever seen someone dying in front of you because they cant breathe, due to anaphylactic shock? A shot of Adrenaline from an auto injector doesn't guarantee survival, it buys time, that is all, sometimes not much time at all.

Thank you very much, a touch of the red mist, it was nothing personal, I can assure you of that, cheers!

Like leni said I was just surprised it was only just being apparent even though there had been over 20,000 people taken it already.

i’m not so sure, i think it has always been used in this way. hay fever is an allergy for example. i’d more a matter of severity. i get hay fever sometimes, which is obviously nothing like the sort of allergic reactions that the few people i know with allergies to eggs, nuts etc.. but still an allergy.

i do agree that people diagnose themselves or see quack experts about alleged allergies, mind. i’m not sure that’s always been the case. i have a friend with health anxiety who’s been through periods of thinking she’s allergic to all sorts, but i suspect it’s psychosomatic.

I was surprised as well, heard a gp talking about this just a minute ago, he was saying "What are the chances of two people being epipen users on the first day of vaccinations and suffering an allergic reaction"

I found that a very odd thing to say, and even odder that those two people were vaccinated, folks don't carry an epipen for no reason, and there has been a shortage of adrenaline pens for years, to the point where people are advised to carry out of date pens and use if required.

@andi52 dont worry and don’t rely on the media or the press or Facebook when they offer you and your wife the vaccine ask the question get good advice and decide for yourself, anything that goes into the body can cause a reaction be it small or large I have seen bee keepers who have been stung for 30 years one day just have a full on allergic reaction it dosent mean a super bee has got them a deadly foreign killer bee it can happen.

Mhra have done the right thing they have seen a contra indication and highlighted it if we were in a more closed country it would be many deaths before anyone mentioned it but the newspapers will be screaming for this story “have you had a rash we pay money for your story”

533 people died today but that’s just a figure 2 people show signs of a reaction and the press go crazy

you will have a choice no one will hold you down and inject you

Exactly, I've never seen a medicine or pharmaceutical product that is supplied with such a small amount of guidance and information
