Sorry - another covid vaccine question

[Shanim]

I saw my rheumy nurse on Monday and she prescribed me Sulfasalazine, I did tell her that I am having my 2nd covid jab on Saturday but I am cross with myself because I never specifically asked the question, “can I take these and have the jab on Saturday” now I’m wishing I hadn’t started the tablets on Monday night.

So my question is has anybody had the jab while taking Sulfasalazine, or were you advised to stop for a period of time ?

I am waiting for a call from GP but I would like to ask you guys as well

Thanks

Just to say that I continued with it for both jabs 😉

Don't worry, there's no reason why you should stop sulphasalazine. Best place to find accurate information is the NRAS website.
