Only two of the four vaccines approved in Canada are mRNA:

I agree with a limited time exemption. After some major surgeries, there is good guidance saying to wait two or three weeks. There may be some people needing a series of such surgeries, putting off vaccination further. However, this is extremely rare.
Consider:
Safety Evaluation of the Second Dose of Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Patients With Immediate Reactions to the First Dose
So there are two good options: take a mRNA vaccine to have potentially better protection that outweighs any slight allergy risk, or take an non-mRNA. Another mitigation, available in the U.S., is to get the vaccine at a hospital. But I don't see who these people are who can't legitimately get vaccinated due to a medical concern.
