Has anyone had the covid booster jab whilst taking long-term azithromycin for asthma?

I had the AZ vaccine for first two and having Pfizer for booster and can’t seem to get a clear answer if okay to have whilst on this med. Already anxious of any side effect so don’t need the added lot

I was on Azithromycin for both my first & second vaccinations (Astra Zeneca). I wasn't taking it for an infection but as treatment for an asthma flare up. I would have thought that there would have been clear warnings published if any of the vaccines shouldn't be administered to a patient while they were on antibiotics or any other medication that would be affected by the vaccine or visa versa.

The National Foundation of Infectious Diseases (US) state, "COVID-19 vaccines do not influence or interact with antibiotics, so when indicated, antibiotics may be taken at any time relative to COVID-19 vaccine administration."

Hi, I’ve been taking 250mg azithromycin daily for several years, had AstraZeneca for first and second and had Pfizer booster back in October. I’ve been absolutely fine! I was just more anxious about catching covid! Take care

Hi, I've been on it 3 times a week for years and had 2 jabs of astra zenica and a 3rd jab of moderna. No issues at all. I didnt even think it would be. I take loads of other meds and have injections all the time. Speak to your Doctor if you are worried.
