ISLAMABAD:
People suffering from allergies should not get themselves tested or vaccinated during spring, as they are at risk of potentially fatal adverse reactions. This was said by Dr Zaman Awan, former head of pulmonology department at Pims, on Saturday.
Dr Awan said that people, however, do not need to leave Islamabad during the season as prompt and appropriate treatment of their allergies could keep them safe.
