“Allergy to covid shot?”
I had covid I am not against the shot. But I am allergic to petroleum alcohol. What happens is my lungs feel up with fluid? So I don't think the shot would be good for me. I have no medical conditions I am 62.

Thanks for the question!
There is polysorbate, but no petrolatum alcohol, in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Although they should be safe, you want to make sure you are watched for a reaction at the vaccine site. You can avoid the issue entirely by obtaining the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. Do none of this without consulting with your doctor and an allergist.

You can still get the Covid shot.
