Full of cold - 2nd AZ

6 replies

Due my 2nd AZ today (12 weeks since first)

I am absolutely full of cold. (Did a PCR Covid test on Sunday as I couldn’t taste anything, it was negative)

I don’t feel unwell, just a bit of a heavy head and very snotty.

Can I have my second vaccine or would I need to wait?

I'd ask when you get there?

A friend of ours had a chest infection when he had his second and ended up with pneumonia. I'm sure a cold wouldn't be that bad but worth checking x

Or phone 119? It could save you a wasted trip.

Yes you can have it with a cold. I did last Saturday.

Don't do it - I did and was poorly for several days!
NHS advice says it's ok though ..

I delayed mine last week due to having a stomach bug but a cold is a bit different. I think there have been a few people on here and other forums saying they wished they hadn't had it when they had colds, if you can rebook easily for say a week's time that might be a better option.
