I clicked on the link in the NRAS statement, but I didn't find any information about RA and the covid jab!

Basically because no-one knows for sure yet! If you read anything that says we can or we can’t in newspapers/online blogs they are making it up.... They are still analysing information about the vaccine trials and people with auto-immune conditions.

NRAS are well connected at the national level so best to keep an eye on their updates.

There’s quite a lot been posted on here on the subject in the last few days. Hope someone can link the posts to you as I’m not sure how you do that on here.

There you are! HH has posted a link from NRAS so that’s the most up to date reliable official need we can have at present.

Think it may not work shortly after a biologic if its anything like the flu vaccine - but need to check with GP or RA specialist.
