Yes, it is still ok to have the COVID-19 vaccine if you have a penicillin allergy. Allergy to penicillin is not a contraindication as per the manufacturer information for the Pfizer/BioNTech or AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine or Moderna vaccine.

If you’re concerned about any allergies and the COVID-19 vaccine, speak to your doctor. You can find lots of information about COVID-19, secondary infections and antibiotics online here.
