The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are both appropriate for adults over the age of 18 (Pfizer's can be given to teens/adults at 16 years old and up). Now, if you're coughing and choking because you have COVID, you should hold off on getting the vaccine until you feel better ( per the CDC ). If you are coughing and choking because you have an allergies (e.g., pollen, peanuts, pineapple, etc), you can still get the vaccine. That said, if you are allergic to any of the specific...
Hi @californiamom ! Welcome to the community. We have a blog post with lots of information on the COVID-19 vaccines . The post includes and easy-to-use chart that explains who should get which vaccine, who should talk their doctor first, and who may want to wait. Have you signed up for your vaccine appointment yet?

I had to wear a mask for hours on Wednesday. Now it is Friday. My ribcage still hurts. But I am afraid to be without a mask. I am afraid of fines and assault. People have threatened me. People say, (Real Loud) "People without masks should be drug out and shot." I have begged our politicians to say something. I have tripled my asthma meds. I get my groceries delivered.

Been taking it since the early 2000s around when it first became available. Stopped for a few years between 2012 and 2014 and started taking it again in 2015. I've experienced every single side effect. With the amount of things I've gone through that im not willing to type, I'm glad I'm still alive. Though I cannot reasonably say it is solely due to this drug.
Hello @Ingrid and welcome! There are certain antibiotics like tetracycline that, when given to children during the early years of tooth development, can cause browning of the teeth . This is not an allergy to the medicine. Tetracycline is now not given to kids under 8 because of this effect on their teeth. Here is more information on drug allergies .
Hi Chrisine454545 and welcome to the AAFA community! Pharmacy tiers and generic drug prices can be really confusing. The GSK version of albuterol is an authorized generic for Ventolin which means that it can be substituted when a doctor prescribes Ventolin and doesn't check the "fill as written" box. The generic won't say Ventolin on it because that is a brand name inhaler (drug + device). It will be labeled as albuterol sulfate. As for the price, this article is from 2019 so I would expect...
CVS is selling this generic albuterol from GSK as a Preferred Brand Name Tier 3 drug to Medicare patients. Same copay as Advair! The box has no brand name on it. GSK says Prasco is distributing it and they set the prices. According to the article in AAFA the authorized generic has a list price of less than $36. The copay CVS/Aetna is charging to Silverscript Smart RX patients is $46!!! More than list price. CVS is claiming it is Ventolin, but that is not on the package because it is a...
