If you have had allergic reactions to other vaccines or injectable therapies in the past, the CDC recommends talking to your doctor about whether you should get any of the available coronavirus vaccines.

If you have an allergy to ingredients in the coronavirus vaccines, it’s important that you don’t “write off getting the vaccine all together,” Steele says.
