Reply to "Covid Vaccine - Toxic Megacolon"

Hi Tamtam,

I am an unconditional of vaccines. After catching the worst flu of my life at age 23 (and I had a k pouch by then) , dehydrating, sick as a dog and bedridden for 10 days I decided...never again. I've taken the shot annually ever since.

$6 versus hell was a no-brainer for me. I got my covid vaccine as soon as I could. My 2nd was last week.

That said, I never had a bad reaction to a flu shot. I have lots of allergies but fortunately, not to them.

My S-in-L (85 and severe asthmatic ) went for her vaccine and when asked about her medical conditions she told them that she had nearly died from the typhus vaccine at age 12 (in 1949!)

They refused her. She eventually went back...told them again about the allergy and got re-refused.

But they suggested that she go to a hospital with an Allergy Department and have a test done first and then take the vaccine while in their service...a reasonable idea and rather reassuring I think.

Talk to your doctor, explain, ask and suggest allergy testing first. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck
