E.g. https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-britain-vaccine/uk-warns-people-with-serious-allergies-to-avoid-pfizer-vaccine-after-two-adverse-reactions-idUSKBN28J1D1 Given the shambolic administration, it's fair to assume that the rollout to mere mortals will be hamhanded in the USA, at least until Biden's team gets a handle on it. It may be months before most of us have an opportunity to decide, and by then we should know much, much more about how the various vaccines work in normal (and not so normal) people. tl;dr - almost nobody needs to decide right now. Cheers, Scott.

Fortunately I was familar with the implications and savvy to the exact term: when I went to Emergency desk, I Used that word: Got Stat attention and an antihistamine [IIRC] blocker. (Later ..wondered how I managed the 10+ mile drive, all things considered). I tot this up with the escape from a failed Scuba-regulator, in ocean at La Jolla Cove, So-Cal--wayback. Anaphylactoid SHOCK IS a killer (didn't do the search for its mechanism, the Time you have to get the detox, etc.) (Besides, had the Web been as of today: just the time to peruse stuff) ..well, you know.. But verily I say unto thee: as of today, I'm still Here. more-or-less. And time to celebrate the Chops of the boffins at Vincent Engineers, Stevenage LTD, for their perspicuity in having made a machine --easily capable of offing the un-wary--in a trice, so well-mannered as to follow my every command, sans Surprises, Thanks! you Brits. aka: I owe my persistence quite more to the genius of Others than, to any innate-Brilliance. {sigh}

Fortunately this occurred in a hospital cafeteria—she was a young nurse trainee those many decades ago—so she was (A) among colleagues who instantly recognized the symptoms as her face turned scarlet, and (B) just happened to know where there was epinepherine to be had. Regarding the vaccine, I read an account from someone in one of the clinical trials who, following the second dose, spent the next couple of days feeling like eight miles of exceedingly bad road, apparently experiencing all the known side effects, which fortunately is uncommon. I’m not looking forward to such an ordeal, but I am disposed to get the shot just as soon as CaesarCare makes it available sometime next year. cordially,

BUT--first time ever--sans the urge to get-self next to The Throne--the always expected next event. (I have experienced neither first nor usually successive event in donkeys' years usually isolated from small children or dyspeptic 'adults') I cannot count on Lucky, Lucky natch--but I do put out on porch a cup of cocoa periodically, should She come by for a test of my er, gratitude?
