Vaccine whilst have long covid

[Campervan69]

Just after a little advice. Has anybody had the vaccine whilst still suffering from symptoms of covid?

My husband and I both had Covid-19 end of January and still feel rough right now - fatigue, muscle aches and so on. Just wondering whether or not to go for the vaccination or whether to leave it for a while.

We are both over 50 so just got our invites.

There is some suggestion that vaccination helps symptoms of long covid.

I’ve read similar reports to @user1471505356. I certainly haven’t seen anything suggesting that it makes long covid worse.

It might be worth researching a bit further. I browse the various covid boards on Reddit as well as here and haven’t seen anyone saying it’s made their long covid symptoms worse. There’s a lot of discussion about not having it at all and relying on their own antibodies but no stories of a relapse caused by a vaccine (Reddit is America predominant though so different vaccines on offer I believe)

I have 'long covid' with some ongoing issues after having covid in October.

I had my first vaccine in February. It didn't make anything any worse and my only side effects was a sore arm near the jab site, a sore under arm gland for a couple of days and a bit of a headache the next day.

I'm CV and my vaccine was organised by my GP surgery, who have all my records and are treating my for the long covid issues (fortunately they are not too bad overall) and there was no concerns over me having the vaccine.

I have post covid symptoms after having it a year ago, vaccination made me extra fatigued for a couple of days but hasn't effected anything longer term in either direction

OK great thanks everyone I have sent my husband off for the vaccination not having mine till next week once have seen how he copes....

My excuse is I have a lot of blood tests scheduled on Monday to look in to what is going on with regards to potential long covid.

hope this copies over well

So that is saying we don't really need to have the vaccination? My only concern is being able to travel really. I have read a couple of studies that say that you only need to have one dose of the vaccination if you've already had covid.

no, my link says it makes sense to get the vaccine even after covid-19 infection. Immunity wanes quite a bit after 7 months. the older the patient the more.
after 7 months at >65J only 47% protected.

Go OK brilliant thank you I completely misread that
