That's mostly to watch for allergic reactions, which if you get you need medical assistance asap. Nothing to do with the covid vaccine itself.

So the vaccine that they inject into you, that would cause an allergic reaction, has nothing to do with the allergic reaction?
That wait is for most or all vaccines, including pre COVID times. Any parent will be familiar with that instruction to wait after the shot.

And you're being deliberately obtuse. Like most medicines, vaccine injections have other ingredients like preservatives, the carrier fluid, etc. People can be allergic to the other ingredients but not the mRNA/TDAP/Influenza/whatever vaccine.

Well that's with all vaccines. I meant it's not specific to the covid one
