It is generally safe for you to get the Covishield vaccine. Having a history of occasional hives or previously taking levocetirizine (Levosiz) is not a reason to avoid the vaccine. A history of mild, brief hives does not increase your risk of a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine. However, as a precaution, please inform the vaccination staff about your history of hives. They will likely monitor you for 30 minutes after the injection instead of the usual 15 minutes, just to ensure your safety.
