Astrazeneca and ibrutinib

[Bixilon]

Hello. I am from Argentina and I would like to know if anyone has received the Astrazeneca vaccine while being treated with ibrutinib. thanks and regards

Yes, I have and probably there will be many others. I had no problems other than the sore arm , redness around the site and flu like symptoms for 24 hours from the day afterwards. My recommendation would be to have the injection on the opposite side to the one you sleep on so that your sleep isn't disturbed too much.

I had the AstraZenecca vaccine 6 weeks ago. I will have my 2nd jab on 21st April. I am also taking Ibrutinib.I had a tender arm for a week and I noticed my neck gland on the injection side feel like it was expanding slightly for a few minutes. I didnt feel ill. Anne uk
