Penicillin Allergy Doesn’t Rule Out Pfizer Vaccine

A Facebook post by David Bird on January 25th, 2021 states that his Mother-in-law went to get a Pfizer vaccine, and “they said they wouldn’t allow her to have it” because she is allergic to Penicillin and the vaccine “could close her airway.”

The post received more than two thousand shares with many people commenting, saying that it isn’t true based on the fact that they have a penicillin allergy themselves and safely received the Pfizer vaccine, or they have safely administered the Pfizer vaccine to someone with a penicillin allergy.
