Hi Cynth,  

I wish it were that simple.  If I can get vaccinated safely I will.  My next step is an appt with an immunology specialist.

My doctor said to me there isn't a clinic in Australia will vaccinate you with your extensive history of anaphylaxis.  And I didn't even tell him the half of it.

I am finding it pretty intense emotionally, most of the time I ignore it myself.  But now it is that element of public safety.  when I showed my letter at the club last night he said you're still the same person you were last time you came aren't you.  Made me feel better straightaway. 

Yes, heaps and heaps of people have been safely vaccinated, but for a few people it hasn't gone well.

I saw a program where they were talking about the small pox vaccine and said there's always a small group of people who can't be vaccinated - they're called the bystanders.  And the stats showed that, I can't remember exactly but either 35 or 45% of the cases of small pox were in the bystanders.  So if you are a bystander your odds are not so good that's for sure. 

As things stand though, there are still no known cases in my area.  good enough for me, I'm too scared to think past my nose, but from my doctor's perspective he sees the dangers of covid in the future and so I am hoping the immunologist can help.
