Is it COVID-19, allergies, or post-vaccine symptoms? How to tell the difference

With spring officially upon us and the novel coronavirus still spreading amid the country’s vaccination effort, it can be difficult to tell the difference between seasonal allergies, a coronavirus infection, and side effects post-vaccination.

"I always ask about itchiness and fever which are big differentiators. Allergies do not usually give fever but they do make you feel itchy and scratchy," Dr. John Whyte, the chief medical officer of the health care website WebMD, told Fox News of one key difference between a coronavirus infection and spring allergies.
