AstraZeneca and antivirals

I can’t find anything online to point that’s it’s contraindicated to take antivirals (aciclovir) after having the AstraZeneca vaccine. Pharmacy is closed and im desperate to take one! Anyone taken them after the vaccine?

My pharmacist said there aren’t any drug interaction lists for Astra Zeneca yet so we kind of have to just take stuff and see. Not that helpful really is it!

Oh - here you go:
“In addition, as COVID-19 vaccines do not contain a live virus, response to vaccination will not be affected by prior or recent anti-viral medication“

I took antivirals for cold sores after my AZ vaccine - think the vaccine triggered a flare up. But I checked with my GP and he said all fine!
