Hi, thank you for your question.
We understand your concern regarding COVID-19 vaccination. We are here to help you.
For your information, allergy to penicillins is not a contraindication to the COVID-19 vaccine. However, if you have any history of immediate onset anaphylaxis to multiple classes of drugs or unexplained anaphylaxis, it is better that you get further confirmation from a doctor or specialist , as well as report to the medical officer at your Vaccination Center, to prevent any serious complications .
You can also contact the Crisis Preparedness and Response Center (CPRC) or JKJAV.

We hope this answers your question.
Have a nice day, thank you.
