DS cannot have vaccine

[Justpassingtime1]

DS is 21 and on blood thinners Distraught

What is the issue with blood thinners? (I have a blood clotting disease but never heard of anything....)

My mum has had the vaccine and has been on blood thinners for years?

My Dad is on blood thinners and has had the vaccine.

My mum takes warfarin and had her vaccine this week. No one said she shouldn’t.

Mil on warfarin has had her vaccine

Yes he can. I have APS and most of us are on blood thinners. The vaccine companies have confirmed we can have it.

Just means they need to be made aware when you go so extra precautions can be taken, monitoring etc.

That's what I have. Im on blood thinners at the moment as I'm in hospital but I'm not usually as it goes. So I'm assuming either way the vaccine is ok with APS?

I'd speak to a health professional before getting distraught - the government has just vaccinated the population demographic most likely to be on blood thinners, with no mention of contraindications. I think you're probably getting upset over nothing.

PILs are on Warfarin and they’ve had their jabs. They just need to go to their clinic for a check a couple of weeks later.

Who has told him this?

They ask about blood thinners at vaccination clinics.

Perhaps you need individual approval if you are on them? Is your DS CEV? If so, then ask about safety of vaccination for him at his next hospital appointment, or ring/email specialist nurse to find out.

He may need to be done at a hospital rather than at a regular clinic

Sdad is on a high dose of warfarin and has had both of his vaccines

FIL has been on warfarin for years and has had his jab.

We just press harder for a minute and warn you of haematoma. Definitely not contraindicated. If on warfarin would ask if you’d had INR check in recent weeks and if generally stable; if on rivoroxaban/apixaban etc would just give it. Green book on vaccinations is clear can be given.

I’m on blood thinners and having the jab tomorrow.

Seems odd, OP drops a bomb and then disappears.

21 year olds aren't likely to be vaccinated for ages anyway.

Pointless scaremongering

Maybe she means she thought he would be a priority and he’s not.

Who has told him this? Loads of older people are on blood thinners and will have had it.

If you have been told this I would genuinely ask for a second opinion. I know lots of people who are taking all different types of blood thinners who have had the vaccine. Including my DM.

Maybe OP means she thought her DS would be vaccinated with the vulnerable group and he isn't going to be, rather than he can't ever?

Do you mean he can’t have his jab before all other 21 year olds because he’s on blood thinners? Or he can’t have it at all ?

They’ve vaccinated hundreds of thousands of people on blood thinners (anti platelets through to anticoagulants). Think your information is wrong.

You can have the vaccine with blood thinners but it depends on your levels/readings.
