Safety of Covid vaccine

[NorthAtlantic]

Hello everyone,

Just wondering about safety of anti-Covid vaccine for people with Sjogrens and underactive thyroid???

Hi , i have Sjögren’s and under active thyroid. I have now had both the pfizer vaccines , i had no reaction to the first and a mild reaction to the second, some lymph node swelling and a tender arm . My gp said a reaction like that is actually a good sign that the vaccine was doing its job . Best wishes , i hope this helps .

You may find it helpful to look at this Sjogrenssyndromenews.com it details some research on Sjögren’s and Covid 19.

Many thanks to both.One of my friends and fellow sufferers had a really bad reaction and was rushed to hospital.

Also have SS and underactive thryoid. I've had both Moderna shots with only some fever & fatigue after 2nd one.

Same here. Moderna shot. A bit of a flulike reaction to 2nd shot but I’m doing fine.

Had two Pfizer jabs - just felt sleepy for a few days after first - nothing else. I have Sjogren’s and Discoid Lupus.
