Is it safe for me to take the Covid-19 vaccine if I have allergies?

A few reported cases of significant side effects hitting people with serious allergies after taking a Covid-19 vaccine has caused many people with allergies to worry over whether they might suffer the same fate.

This video, presented by Docere co-founder and University College Dublin medical graduate Dr Jared Siow, explains whether or not it is safe to take the Covid-19 vaccine if you have allergies.

It is part of the campaign against Covid-19 vaccine misinformation organised by Docere, a group of young doctors and professionals who aim to empower the public with health information.

StarHealth is partnering with Docere to show some of the videos they have produced for this campaign.
