I reckon they've always been around just as much as they are now, but we're now more aware of them.
Certainly don't remember any kids swelling up. They would have got a nice nickname straight away. Something changed somewhen last 20-30 years

Do you remember the 6 needles followed by the booster immunization? If the 6 needles cause a rash then you didn't get the booster. I remember most of us rubbed are arms to no avail I only remember one girl who had a reaction to the 6 needles.

Isn't there a theory that the rise in allergies is due at least in part to increasingly antiseptic modern lifestyles?

Don't think I've seen a needle like it since, about an inch long and quarter of an inch wide

I used to work with a lass who had a god awful nut allergy, one of those where if she got near one it might kill her*, she was about my age so people were suffering thus 40+ years back, I suspect like much else (as mentioned above) its just more reported these days same as with murders etc. I also suspect more is now made due to the inclination for modern human beings to sue anyone at the first opportunity, a kid has started at our lasses school with an allergy and the school are having to do a lot to ensure they cannot be found to blame if any kid brings nuts in. * We went for a Chinese one night and despite repeatedly raising the issue with the restaurant they served her something with nuts (or traces) in it, that was a scary and unpleasant trip to A&E.

Was on a flight last year and an announcement came up not to open any products containing nuts for the duration of the flight due to a passenger with a severe allergy. They were on the return flight too.

I was up there a few times when my daughter was younger. Nuts and bloody Horses have extreme reactions for her.

Back to the vaccines: It is understood that both the staff members had a significant history of allergic reactions - to the extent where they need to carry an adrenaline auto injector with them. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/people-history-allergic-reactions-warned-covid-vaccine/So it's a bit like giving a snickers to somebody with a peanut allergy and being surprised when they have a reaction? And these people knew they might have a reaction. It changes the context a tad.
