not keep me for more than 15 minutes to an hour after vaccination, especially in these times and in the only hospital in my town. The treatment for this kind of reaction is epinephrine shots. To take the vaccination, I'd just go to my primary care office and remind them of my allergy history. Just in case of a delayed reaction, I might insist on having an epi pen, which contains a shot of epinephrine. I don't have one now because my 2 previous anaphylactic shock reactions occurred in a medical setting that would not normally happen in everyday life.

I've also learned from experience that most general practitioners know little about allergies so I've had to learn more about them myself from necessity. I will be careful.

Happy Holidays.
