Covid and AF

I’ve recovered from Covid ( negative 2 weeks ago)

And have just received a NHS text to book the second booster ,which I’d be happy to do, but the advice about time lapse is unclear. Covid badly triggered my AF and although I’ve had no problems with any of the vaccinations, I’m a bit wary of only waiting the recommended 4 weeks before having the 2nd booster ,as the NHS website says that 12-16 yr olds ( which isn’t me !) should wait 3 months to avoid heart inflammation. Shouldn’t that apply to AF sufferers too? Does anyone have experience with this 2nd booster please ? Many thanks.

Here in France people were advised to wait at least 3 months after recovering from covid before any vaccination no matter what their age .

Hi, I had a post covid time lapse query that was complicated but not the same as yours for the first booster. I found an excellent pharmacist who was far better at giving advice than any of the doctors I consulted. My GP had no clue. Anyway was wondering whether a pharmacist who also has an in store vaccine centre would be good port of call for you?
