Help please?

Hi all, quick question- I’ve had this horrible chest infection and asthma has been terrible. I will finish my 3rd course of antibiotics tomorrow and have a Covid Booster booked for 4 days after that. Is it safe to have the Booster?

I think you need to ask your GP. It's usually the case that as long as one hasn't got an active infection (eg a temp) then they'll do the vaccine (or is with the flu one anyway) but as it's been going on a while your GP is probably best placed to advise. It's possible your infection is viral as antibiotics don't seem to have helped - but I expect the principles would still apply as to how active it is or isn't.

I had a chest infection was on antibiotics and steroids in A and E and was told to go for my second covid jab as it was booked and there was no real reason for me to not have it... so as long as your not "ill" then they will probably tell you to have it
