If you have allergies or bad reactions to PEG (glycols in general), then get AstraZeneca. If you have issues with the preservative Polysorbate 80, get the others. Some of us need a choice, stop ignoring disabled people.

AstraZeneca, Moderna or Pfizer? Take whichever COVID-19 vaccine you’re offered, experts say - The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

That's very interesting Erin. My immunotherapy treatments in 2013 had pegylation and I got so sick and PEG is used in Vape products which I don't myself use but I suspect when people got sick that the peg was part if not all of the reason so nobody has ever seemed to look.

With my chemical sensitivity I’m sure PEG would be bad for me. A friend who has similar issues is a nurse and got sick on her first dose then VERY sick with her 2nd. I use coconut milk with the same preservative as the AstraZ, so I know that will be less risky.

I'm sorry your friend got sick, and glad AstraZ will be tolerable for you. Many high risk patients in Arizona are waiting due to distribution glitches. I'm advised PEG is a concern but to take the vaccine first available as infection is riskier. Very helpful info, thanks Erin!
