Can I take Astrazenca vaccine if I’m allergic to paracetamol?

I’m 24 years old. I have asthma and I’m allergic to paracetamol. I get hives when I take paracetamol. Can I sign up for AstraZeneca vaccine in that case?

Hi and thank you for asking us

The answer is a general description of the problem you’re having. Please click on this link (DoctorOnCall) to speak with us.

Based on the above information, we understand your concern about the problem that is encountered. If patients who are allergic to paracetamol, anti-inflammatories or antibiotics are at extra risk of COVID-19, they should get the vaccine. However, it depends on the risk and benefits, therefore please consult your doctor if you are not sure. Plus, before you receive this vaccine, tell the doctor/nurse if you are allergic to it; or to any other vaccines; or if you have any other allergies.

Nevertheless, it is better that you get further confirmation from a doctor or specialist at a nearby clinic or hospital, as well as report to the medical officer at your Vaccination Center.

You can also contact the Crisis Preparedness and Response Center (CPRC) or JKJAV. In addition, continue the routine of regular hand hygiene, practice social/physical incarceration, wear face masks outdoors and adhere to other pandemic SOPs.
