My GP has invited me to have a flu and Covid vaccination. I suspect that this is due to me being registered as B12 deficient with PA as I’m not usually entitled to those jabs on the NHS each year at my age.
I currently SI B12 EOD and take recommended cofactors.
Are there any thoughts on having the vaccinations alongside the B12? I’d welcome any views. Thanks,

Absolutely no problem in having B12 injections along side Flu and covid vaccinations . You are certainly not B12 deficient as you are getting plenty of B12 injections.
Get those vaccinations.Great !
I've had both flu and Covid jabs, often at the same time. It doesn't make any difference to my symptoms at all. I'd much rather have the jabs than the illnesses.
I found one covid vaccination exacerbated the b12 deficiency symptoms i had at the time and made me very poorly for s few weeks. The second covid vaccination I was over in 2 days .
Affected me the same as everyone else not on b12 injections.
I think anything extra your body has to deal with takes a little longer to get over.
Good you've been offered them .
In my area B12 def/ PA does not put you in the vulnerable group.
Type 1 diabetes was also taken of the 'vulnerable ' list .
Wheas my daughter is entitled because of thd drug she's on.

Sorry, I would stay well away from them. [....]
Yes, same as Nackapan , the first vaccination took a while to get over and I felt awful. Later vaccines - not so bad at all. Recovery after a day or two of flu-like symptoms, just like others.
I had Covid, quite early on - hard to get through, hard to get back on track after and had to up injection rate for a few weeks. Also not something I'd want to experience again.
I may recently have had a much milder version of Covid and it dragged on a little, but can't be sure as I didn't have a test - stayed in anyway during the illness. Nothing dramatic.
This is my own personal experience.
My opinion is that I would prefer to have a vaccination if offered, but this is your choice. It is possible that Covid has diluted in mutation - not sensible for survival to kill your host, after all - but equally possible that the vaccines have helped dilute effects.
I haven't had the flu jab so can't comment on that.
I personally get what ever vaccinations are offered due to the fact. In my opinion if I do not and need treatment, the treatment will be substandard because I did not conform.
My understanding of how applied science works and how the scientific method is applied very seldomly to applied science is not based on hero worship or arrogance/ willful ignorance.
This post has been edited to remove content around vaccines in general as opposed to vaccines in relation to B12.
Discussion of vaccines in general is off topic for this forum and such discussion will be removed.
In light of what has happened I am turning off further replies (and probably should have done so when I first saw your post this morning but didn't because it asked specifically in relation to B12 deficiency).
Pa234aw I am not aware of anything that specifically contraindicates vaccination in relation to people suffering from either B12 deficiency or PA (in the sense of an autoimmune gastritis that prevents the absorption of B12).
As you will have gathered some people don't go for vaccinations themselves but that seems to be a general opposition to vaccinations and nothing specific to B12.

Flu injection
Blood testing Whilst on B12 Jabs 🤷♀️
Oral spray - safe to use after jabs?
