I am allergy to peniciline 40 years back, now do not have such reaction, so can i take astrazeneca vaccine? Thank you

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.
