Yes you can. There is not contraindication to receive COVID vaccine even if you ever had an adverse reaction to penicillin.
Penicillin allergy is a separate issue/condition from adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccination. You will need to confirm with your PCP that you don't have a history of previous vaccine reactions. If not, then you may receive any of the covid vaccinations on the market. Any reaction on the first dose, may require a "step-wise" process for the second vaccine. (www.TulsaAllergyNews.com)
