Think you need to check with your Gp. I’ve got a feeling it’s not recommended.

I had the covid vaccination last week. I’m on prednisolone and antibiotics but was told it’ll be fine. I felt very unwell the day after but since then have been back to ‘normal’. Joy x.

I’m taking Co-Trimoxazole and take 10mg of prednisolone daily and have done for many years. I’m allergic to Cipro Joy.

If you can, check with your doctor tomorrow to be sure one way or the other

So will your course be finished by 21st? It does take at least 2 weeks for our bodies to develop antibodies after vaccine, like flu jab its not instant. From the replies it's plain you need to ask a professional (we're not medics as youprobablyknow) - easier said in England at least when we're advised by GP surgeries not to call with vaccine inquiries. You could try contacting BLF by email stating when you finish the course, or phone, 03000 030555 office hours only.

You are asked questions at the vaccination venue so would have a chance to check then. Good luck

I had a text to advise vaccinations are now being given in my area and if invited but worried one of the doctors or nurses would be happy to talk to allay fears x
