... but I've had the 1st dose of Moderna with no reaction other than a slightly sore arm one day later.

The pharmacy didn't even ask me about a penicillin allergy, so I just did a Google-search and found nothing about it.

Here's one site with an interesting tidbit:
Have allergies? Worried about COVID-19 vaccine? Don’t be.

Paauw (pronounced “pow”) suspects that, eventually, the allergic reaction rate to the COVID-19 vaccines will be one per 1 million people. Other medications, including penicillin, have higher rates of causing severe allergic reactions.

“The chance of dying if you take penicillin is much higher, and few worry about getting an antibiotic in this country,” he said.
