I am concerned of the cov19 vaccine for lupus sufferers whether it will boost the immune system in any way to fight the disease and I won’t be able to have it is there any information regarding this please ?

I have written to my GP regarding this because I have allergies and immune problems - over active immune system, so I am not having the vaccine. I have read that it is unwise for anyone with allergies to foods and chemicals to have the vaccine. My gut feeling told me that, anyway. I always go by my gut feeling now.

People with allergies were not included in the trials, I also read, when the patients that had the anaphylactic shock from having the vaccine.

We are all different and it will suit some and not others as always - it is whether to take the chance or not. My history is not good with having had a bad reaction to prescribed drugs, so I have made the decision not to take the risk.

Yes, I come under the severe allergies and my GP practice accepts that it is not a good idea for me to have it. Thank you
