Has anyone with an allergy had a Corona vaccination?

Was just wondering what the situation is. In the past, I've had a couple of occasions where if had reactions. The first was about 35 years ago when I was a teenager and I was on some antibiotics for acne. Having realised it's significance as an adult, I asked my GP to check my records and there is nothing recorded on there. My mum had and still has very poor mental health and is not able to remember anything about it.
The second occasion was about 8 years ago. I was having what was thought to be a gallbladder attack and was taking over the counter antacid medication. I got very itchy with hives around my neck. I can't think of anything else that I was exposed to at the time that could have caused it and my GP has shown no inclination to investigate what it was.
I now qualify in group 9 for a vaccine and would like to have it when its possible but not sure what the situation is when I potentially have allergies that are not medically documented. I intend to ask for a telephone Gp appointment to talk to them about it before the time comes but would appreciate anyone else's experiences before I do so I've got an idea of what is happening for other people.

@LacyEdge

I have anaphylactic allergies and can assured you Roses that I have no intention of taking random advice off the internet. I’ll take medical advice as and when I get the invitation. There’s no need to report the thread.

I’m hopeful I’ll be able to have it, since allergists in other countries are saying it’s fine for severely allergic people unless you specifically have an allergy to PEG or another component of the vaccine.

Well no, I can report something if I'm not happy about it. I'm allowed and have done. Doesn't mean anything will be done but I don't think this is a safe thread, you may disagree, but that's how I feel.

My mum has had multiple allergies and her GP has advised she is not on the list for a vaccine because of this...... not that she would take it as she is scared of allergic reaction! Not sure what her options are really

When I get an appointment, I will certainly mention my allergies and accept whatever advice they give me
