None of the people who had an allergic reaction died, they were all given epinephrine and recovered without any problems. And the number who had a severe allergic reaction is very small, 10 cases out of the 4,000,000 who were injected. My son who has bad allergies and asthma had both of his shots without any problems and I have had my first shot without any problem and also have severe allergies.
It depends on what you are allergic to.
I eat nuts like there is no tomorrow but when our niece brings her little girl over it is hide all the nuts - peanuts or peanut butter could kill her.
And if the person gets the shot somewhere that is not a medical facility and epinephrine isn't available!!! Or if the reaction doesn't happen during the immediate waiting period! The wife and I sat in the Kaiser Medical Center for 30 minutes after our shots. In the same building as the Urgent Care clinic and right next door to the hospital and ER (maybe 25 yards from the ER).
