Booster covid jab

[Burnley1959]

I cannot seem to get a straight answer. I was advised not to have the booster jab because of an upcoming operation on my ears ( Im falling to bits for goodness sake) my question is while I still have this blood clot s it safe to have the booster jab. I am up to date with the other covid jabs ( I had them before all this happened).

think that's a question for your doctor....sorry not the answer you wanted.

Yeah I know, I have an appointment with the consultant at the end of Feb.

Good, hopefully he will have necessary information as cardio specialist.

I would be guided by my surgeon and the Prednisalone question too. Good luck with your operation!

No-one here with the necessary information to say yeah or nay I'm afraid.

I'm on a NOAC (Pradaxa) for atrial fibrillation so clots are a risk for me but no-one said not to have jabs. We only get 3 though - no further boosters so far.

I think if you have been advised not to have the vaccination I would listen to the advice.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to piglette]

Depends who says it doesn't it!!!!

[piglette in reply to PMRpro]

True, I assumed that advice came from professionals!

[Burnley1959]

yes it came from a ENT consultant.

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Burnley1959]

And what was their ground for dissuading you not to have the booster?

[Burnley1959 in reply to PMRpro]

No reason given just advice.

No contraindications to receive mRNA booster shot. May want to postpone surgery 14days following jab.
