UK Covid Vaccine & Ruxolitinib

[StreetPastor]

Anyone had the UK Vaccine that takes Ruxolitinib for post et-MF. If so how was it for you? Any side effects?

Hey StreetPastor...

That is a really interesting question, and naturally... I shall be listening intently to learn what I can from the experiences of you guys in the UK...

I am Post ET / MF myself, and it is an interesting dilemma here too... Although it might still be some time before we have a Vaccine roll-out here 'Down-Under' etc...

Best wishes...

I'm also post ET MF and on Ruxolitinib. Even with side effects I would still be happy to have it but I'm rather cowardly and wouldn't want to be among the first!

I understand that blood cancers here will get the vaccine with the 70 year olds so I’m guessing January 2021 🥴

Hi Street Pastor. I am ET/prefibrotic myelofibrosis CALR on hydroxy, although I did try Pegasys earlier this year. I am also on blood pressure medications. I had the jab on Thursday with no problems except for a painful arm for a day or so. I was asked lots of questions regarding medication etc. beforehand so it was all very thorough.Happy Christmas to all.
