Perhaps you could ask your GP, sorry I can’t be of any more help.
Good suggestions from Oshgosh.
You could enquire with: health.harvard.edu/blog/no-...
As well, see what they say.
I would have thought you would be more at risk of not having the vaccine myself but then I am no medical professional, do check to see what the medical professionals advise in your case.
Best wishes

Thanks. I’m trying to find someone with no spleen who has had the Vaccine. I am due mine on Monday morning. At least it is taking place in the Hospital. So i can go through it with them I suppose.
Yes that could be why you are having it in the hospital but do chat with them if you've not had any further information from your doctor or contact with Harvard Ed department.

Hi. Thanks for the info. I had a look at the leaflet. It seems pretty straightforward. And i will inform them on Monday of my lack of spleen just to highlight it. Many thanks.
Hi,my sister who works for the NHS as a phlebotomist had her spleen removed as a child,as part of the focus on protection for front line staff she had her Pfizer vaccination several weeks ago and is awaiting her second dose.she has had no complications from the vaccine.Hope that in some way reassures you.

Hi. I had my spleen removed over 20 years ago and had the Oxford vaccine 2 weeks ago. A few mild side effects for a couple of days but nothing out of the ordinary. Both my GP and oncology team said I should go ahead with the jab and not to be concerned. Hope this helps. Regards Geronimo
My daughter had her spleen removed twenty odd years ago and had her covid jab three weeks ago! She was advised to have it as she is on the at risk list. Absolutely no ill effects.
Hi. My brother had his spleen removed 9 years ago & has been on antibiotics daily ever since. He had his vaccination 10 days ago without any problems or side-effects. Hope this helps. Good luck 😊
I havea friend who has had her spleen removed. She has had the vaccine. No problems. Hope this helps
Hi James, My daughter has had her spleen removed and she had the Oxford vaccine about 4 weeks ago with no real complications other than a slightly sore arm and lymph nodes under her arms a little swollen. This only lasted for one day. She had the Oxford vaccine and is now awaiting her 2nd. one.
Hi, Just an update, I had the Oxford vaccine jag yesterday morning, So far no problems of any kind, Great service, in and out in 15 Mins. St Thomas Hospital Westminster. Well Done to all staff in the unit. See you in May 👍
