Is there a waiting time after having covid before vaccine?

[Getawaywithit]

My 17 year old has recently had covid. He really wants to be vaccinated as soon as. I seem to remember being asked if I’d had covid within the last few weeks when I got my vaccination. Is there a waiting time between having covid and being able to have the vaccine?

@worriedatthemoment 9 months.

[quote OrangeBananaFish]@Waxonwaxoff0 Same happened to me. I was all set to have my second jab, but tested positive in the week before. I am allowed to have my jab from today, but I'm waiting until the weekend just so I'm not at work should I get any side effects.

Be warned though the NHS were very keen to get me to make my second appointment (I couldn't book anything past my 28 days for a while) and I kept getting texts and emails. I also got one letter.[/quote]
Thanks for the info!

@bumbleymummy A 23 year old relative caught Covid twice within 6 months. They’re now double vaccinated!

@worriedatthemoment My relative actually had her first jab whilst she HAD covid (unbeknownst to her) - they still went ahead with the 2nd vaccine 4 weeks post first one.

I have said the majority several times now.

Several people have contracted the virus after being vaccinated but that doesn’t mean that the majority aren’t immune does it?
