When they recommended people with SEVERE allergies not get the vaccine, I think it was because a person's immune system may be prone to freaking out. I don't know what the status of it is now. I think it should be manageable if a person knows they might have a severe reaction, has an epi pen, and consults with the medics at the vaccine site. I'm only allergic to penicillin, and something unidentifiable in buildings in the UK that caused me to have asthma. I'm pretty sure the penicillin thing isn't a current thing.although I'll try not to get gonorrhea, I have friends who aren't so lucky (allergies, not gonorrhea).
