So I talk to the doctor. He says due to my history of anaphylaxis I can't be vaccinated in a clinic anyway it has to be one on one - I found that reassuring. He has written a letter (so I am flagged now) and I go to see an immunology specialist - that means travelling to Byron Bay which was off my list of places to go. But he will do blood tests and is certified to make an exemption if I need it. I will admit the doctor was uncertain I would be able to take the current vaccines but he thinks there are new ones coming that might be okay. The wrinkle is the vaccine is not like an insect bite or contrast dye which are out of your system fairly quickly - and the only cure for anaphylactic shock is removal of the thing you are reacting to. Fortunately I didn't tell my brother about it til after we had finished our online game of bridge. He could not accept I might be unable to get vaccinated. I wish there was a test so a scrape of your blood could be tested rather than your whole being. But there isn't and so while there aren't any cases locally no one is going to consider vaccinating me, I am likely to get an exemption certificate. I have the letter, will that get me in the club for a game of bridge tonight, idk..... |
