Since having COVID-19, I have been getting itchy, red skin bumps and rashes that go away after I take cetirizine. Given these new skin reactions and my known allergies to Orofer XT and CT scan contrast dye, is it safe for me to get the COVID-19 vaccine, or am I at risk of having a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction?

Your allergies to Orofer XT and CT scan contrast dye do not increase your risk of a severe reaction to the vaccine, as they contain entirely different ingredients. Your hives, which improve with cetirizine, are also not a reason to avoid vaccination. To keep you safe and put your mind at ease, please inform the vaccination staff about your allergies so they can monitor you for 30 minutes afterward. I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor or an allergist for personalized reassurance.
