"We're not talking about some people who had pain at the site of injection or a rash, we're talking about anaphylactic shock," he said. "An allergy to that is pretty rare," he told ABC News."It would have to be documented, as a moderate or severe allergy, before I would consider giving a medical exemption."Overall, the COVID-19 vaccines are safe for people with"moderate to severe immune compromise," underlying conditions, pregnant women, women trying to get pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, according to the CDC.
The CDC has some extra precautions in place for people with certain medical conditions. For example, people with a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia , are advised to get an mRNA vaccine if they are within 90 days of illness, the CDC said. Women over 50 are also warned about a potential risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome if they chose the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to the CDC.
Dr. Jay Bhatt, an internal medicine physician, an instructor at the University of Illinois School of Public Health and an ABC News contributor, added that special care should be taken for patients who are awaiting an organ transplant, recently received an organ transplant or are receiving metastatic cancer treatment. Those patients should talk with their physicians and set up a timetable for the earliest and safest time to get their shots.
