Should seafood allergy be vaccinated against Covid-19?

I am allergic to seafood such as shrimp, crab, squid... should I get the Covid-19 vaccine?

Subjects contraindicated to the Covid-19 vaccine are those with a history of second-degree anaphylaxis. Second-degree anaphylaxis includes signs of skin allergy such as thick urticaria all over the body and is accompanied by facial edema, difficulty speaking, wheezing (due to laryngeal edema), dyspnoea, increased dyspnea, and any other symptoms. Usually abdominal pain. For every second-degree anaphylaxis, with two or more groups of symptoms (in addition to skin symptoms), the Covid-19 vaccine is contraindicated.

Your case is not second-degree anaphylaxis, but just a history of allergies, specifically an allergy to some seafood, then the Covid-19 vaccine can be considered, cautious and should be given in hospital for better treatment.

Seafood such as shrimp, crab, fish, squid ... are not included in the Covid-19 vaccine, so you are not too worried. There are many people who are allergic to seafood, weather or some other foods, so they should get the shot early and most of them have no unusual cases.
