Just because you are allergic to penicillin, opioids and NSAIDS, doesn't mean you can't get vaccinated. You have likely been vaccinated already as babies are started at a very early age. You can get your blood drawn and get your titers taken to follow up, if concerned. As you probably already know, the mycin family of antibiotics are a good substitute for the penicillin family. Just as there are subs for NSAIDs and opioids--the chemical make up of pain killers vary greatly and there are other COX-2 inhibitors that you can take with good results. And yes, those are meds, but they are also different from vaccines (which gives you the actual virus). Different chemical make-up, function, and goal. Vaccines save lives! Your GP can go over it with you, but regarding your other allergies, should you ever need anything due to pain, aside from wearing a bracelet and having it in your medical file, you should know what you can tolerate without consequence, so a doctor can treat you in an emergency. I would not suggest Tramadol for childbirth for example, but that is why it is good to know ahead of time. And your food allergies often have a lot to do with your med allergies.
