The Jab

Hi everyone. I had a letter this morning to book my Covid Jab. I'm a bit worried as I am waiting on a ct scan and gastroscopy and apart from Multiple liver cysts and enlarged liver (found on ultra sound) they are looking for possible Pancreatitis and blocked bile duct. Not knowing what exactly my Liver issues are I dont know if it would be safe. Any advice most welcome. Thank you xx

Hi nesh60I think you should speak to your doctor with your concerns . I do think that most people are being advised to have it with very few exceptions.

I had my covid jab during my gallstone/liver pain still not detected completely. I had fever for 2 days after vaccination but then I got fine. Just tell them about ur condition n they ll decide about it. Normally they ll ask you anyway if u have any medical history. Don’t worry u ll be fine. It’s safe

Hi nesh60 - obviously we can’t give medical advice on here and if you have concerns raise them either with your GP or even better your hepatology clinic.

I am post TP so on a cocktail of drugs and other co-morbidness - I had a similar conversation with my consultant I he advised me without hesitation to have the jab. I had it a couple of weeks ago and the only thing I noticed was a slight temperate for a couple of days - other than that I had no other issues with the jab and I’m pleased to have had the first one.

Talk to your professionals to reassure you that it will be fine - IMHO have the jab!

Thank you Peter. I will speak to Doc and see what he says. Glad you were ok with your jab xx

We can’t really give you medical advice on this forum as only your physicians will know your particular situation. Check with your GP or Consultant for advice.

I’ve got cirrhosis,gallstones,portal hypertension and an 8st German Shepard that likes his belly being rubbed at 5am. I had the Pfizer and was rocking all rolling at 5am the following morning on a walk with the boy(🐶🐾). Positive attitude goes a long way!! 😊👍
