Yes I had the first vaccine. Everyone I know has only had mild side effects. I’m afraid I’m one of those people who, as my neurologist says, has a very sensitive system and so tend to react to everything. He says I’ve been on every medication and each has some side effects. What I’m trying to say is that unless you happen to be like me with meds then I’m sure you’ll be fine with the vaccine. So try not to worry.

Hi, yes I’ve had my 2 COVID vaccinations (Astra) the same as many mild flu symptoms on the 1st & fine on the 2nd. Have had no effects being epileptic, my current medication is keppra, lamotrigine & Clobazam. Fingers 🤞 will stay that way.

Hi, I’ve had both vaccines now (Pfizer). I too was a little worried about what may happen, but turns out the worst I had was a bit of a sore throat and an achy arm. I haven’t heard of anyone I know with epilepsy having any problems. I take Tegretol and Keppra, if that’s any use.
