Darren asks:

I have had two anaphylactic reactions: one to tuna fish 25 years ago, and another with a wasp sting 12 years ago, hence I carry a couple of EpiPens around with me. Could I still get the COVID vaccine?

Initially, when the Pfizer vaccine was rolled out, there were a couple of severe allergic reactions in people with a track record of life-threatening allergy. The MHRA have since advised that people with known allergy to the constituents of the vaccine should not have it, but anyone else should not regard a past history of allergy as a contra-indication. I think you should therefore be fine.
