On hydroxy urea. What is protocol for covid vaccine

[Scrollernut]

Not for sure what you mean by protocol. I’m on hydrea with et and hemo and gp just said get it when I’m contacted. Still considering it tho.

[Ebot]

Perfectly fine. Go ahead. I had my last weekend.

Hi Petsch, if you mean having the vaccine we have information on our website mpnvoice.org.uk/news/covid-...

[Petsch in reply to Mazcd]

I mean should I discontinue using hydroxy for any time before during or after vaccine

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice in reply to Petsch]

you should not stop your hydroxycarbamide, unless there is another reason to do so, your haematologist will have or will inform you if this is the case.

[Petsch in reply to Mazcd]

Is it ok to get massage with ET

[piggie50 in reply to Petsch]

There is another thread on this question posted 3 days ago entitled relaxation massage in et . If you scroll through previous post you will see it.

Sorry I can't help but you should have a high priority for vaccine while o nHydroxurea/Hydroxycarbamide

[denisep12]

As far as I know, you should not stop taking your hydroxy. Also, as far as I know, we should not have any live vaccines when on this medication. The Astra Zeneca vaccine is based on a live virus (not Covid) but I intend to speak to my Haematology consultant to check whether or not I should avoid this vaccine and ask to have the Pfizer or Moderna instead. Perhaps it is best you also consult your specialist to find out. All the best

[Petsch in reply to denisep12]

Let me know what he says

[Jansmithk in reply to denisep12]

I'm more or less positive neither vaccines are live im sure that has been on another post previously a Dr put it on here

[ciye in reply to Jansmithk]

Professor Van Tam stated on the BBC those with compromised immune systems should not take the asrtra zenica vaccine as it "live".

[Mazcd Partner MPNVoice]

the COVID vaccines are not live.

[denisep12 in reply to Mazcd]

The Astra Zeneca vaccine is made using a live but weakened virus that causes the common cold in chimpanzees

[Petsch]

I realise that but should I get off drug for a bit before during or after

[piggie50 in reply to Petsch]

The advice from Prof Harrison is not to stop any medication unless advised by your own heamatologist.

Hi Petsch, I did reply to your query about your medication, see above. Maz
