Oxford vaccine for allergy sufferers??

I could've received the Pfizer vaccine on Monday as I work for NHS but due to an anaphylactic reaction to penicillin it's not suitable. Absolutely gutted as that was my light at the end of the tunnel.
Will the Oxford vaccine be suitable for allergy sufferers? I've searched online but can't find any info.
Feeling v stressed out as there's been a large number of COVID cases this last week in my office.

I'm interested in the answer to this too, OP. I have been searching for the vaccine's ingredients but haven't managed to find it yet.

I'm thinking it may be, because it's made very differently to the Pfizer one. If you've been OK with other vaccines it should be fine. I believe it may be the lipid envelope on the Pfizer one that people are sensitive to.

Oh I really hope so, keeping everything crossed. I get the flu vaccine every year and have been fine with it.

I’m hoping so. I’m allergic to penicillin, food stuffs and some cleaning fluids etc - so wary of the Pfizer one. I’m in the 50-60 age group though so well down the list.

I'm hoping so. I'm allergic to nuts so vaccines aren't usually an issue but obviously the advice is different for this one. I'm way down the priority list but would like to be able to get a vaccine eventually.
