If I have allergies or asthma is there an increased risk if I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

There's no significant risk to you to get the vaccine if you have a medical comorbidity, in fact, it's quite the opposite. If you're at increased risk of severe COVID-19 disease because of a medical comorbidity like asthma, you're an even better candidate to get the vaccine because the vaccine will protect you from COVID-19 infection.
