‘I believe there are three possible options for those of us with severe allergies:
- We may choose not to get vaccinated as we feel the risk is too high. But we will have to accept a much stricter SOP for our lives and be prepared to have our lives restricted for some time.
- The second option is that we choose to vaccinate and, due to the high risk, ask that it be done with enhanced health professional support, i.e. vaccinate in a hospital and have good backup with adrenaline at hand.
- The third option is to delay vaccination and watch the data as more is made available. The risk of anaphylaxis is small and likely to be even smaller as we get more vaccination data. We will also have a clearer idea which vaccine has the lowest rate of severe allergic reaction. Once this data is available we hope to be able to choose the least allergic vaccine and vaccinate in a hospital with good physician backup.’
