I'm taking Warfarin and waiting for my first jab for Covid. I think there was a post on here saying about Warfarin not being suitable with one of the vaccines. Does anyone know anything about this ?

Vacinne.
I posted because I was asked if I took Warfarin before booked for the Pfizer one and was told it was good that I wasn’t, no explanation. However, from replies it just seems there is a concern about bruising/bleeding if INR is too high. I am going to check on Saturday when I have mine.
I was asked if I took blood thinners , I replied that I took the anticoagulant Rivaroxiban !! Result was I had a dressing on the injection site , not given normally .
they are only worrying about your injection site bleeding- just press hard!!
I'm a 'bleeder' but there was no blood at all on the site after my jab! ( on warfarin INR 2.5)
They ask if you're on anticoagulants. I went to a hub. Nurse said that was fine she would just apply pressure to injection site for a bit longer.
I’m on Rivaroxaban and had my 1st dose yesterday. All fine no sign of bleeding.
I am on warfarin and had my vaccination on Saturday. No problems. Think it is a bit of scaremongering.
