NGPG Allergy & Asthma is now offering a new medical evaluation to help address any concerns you might have about an allergy or adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine. If you are concerned that vaccine components may cause an allergic reaction, please contact one of our office locations today.
Consider being evaluated if:
- You have had previous serious reactions to vaccines
- You think you may be allergic to certain vaccine components
- You have had or possibly have had a reaction to polysorbate or polyethylene glycol (PEG)
- You have a history of anaphylaxis in other situations and are concerned about getting the COVID vaccine
