Covid and injections

[prunus]

I suffered from Covid over Christmas from the 16th to the 30th December. Up 'til now I have had all the injections on offer. I read Dorset Lady's post that we are going to be offered another injection in the spring. It has left me wondering whether I will need this or not in the circumstances. I am currently on two and a half milligrams of prednisolone. What do people think?

That really something you need to discuss with your GP - if and when you are offered a further vaccine.

Thanks for the advice.

You do need the boosters - having Covid only forms antibodies to the version you had, not any of the others. But if you are worried - speak to your doctor.

That is very interesting. So if that is the case it makes sense to have it when offered.
