Covid booster and steroids

[Spin1959]

I have been offered my Covid booster for next Monday but I had a steroid injection on March 25th. Does anyone know if I need to leave longer between the two jabs??

No. won’t make any difference so go ahead.

You might have a slightly lesser immune response to the vaccine. If possible I would ask if it could be delayed by 2 to 4 weeks. But there are no contraindications to having it now.

Sorry no idea I don't have them

ask your practice nurse or pharmacist for advice 👍

Thank you

I'm getting a depo-medrone next Wednesday and another a fortnight later. My rheumy department said I have to wait four weeks between depo and covid jab. Yet 111 said I could have them on the same day.

I spoke to my RA nurse today and she said it’s no problem having my Covid booster. I have moved the booster appointment so I have 4 weeks between the two just to be sure.
