Should a patient delay allergen immunotherapy (AIT) because they are receiving one of the mRNA COVID 19 vaccines?

It is suggested that the two shots not be given within 48 hours to avoid confusion in the unlikely event that a reaction occurs to either injection. However, there is no medical contraindication to receiving both. For example, if a patient receives an allergy injection and then an opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine arises the next day, the vaccine doesn’t have to be delayed due to having received an allergy shot the day before.
