Hello there, I have been taking 40mg carbimazole per day as part of block and replace for my graves disease since 2018.I have had all my covid jabs and my booster and a flu jab and had no problems, apart from normal side effects which are mentioned .Hope this reassures you.I'm more worried about how covid would affect me if I caught it.

Hi there, I'm currently taking Carbimazole daily 5mg and 10mg alternately. I have received all of my jabs, A.Z for first two , Pfizer for booster in addition to flu jab all without any side effects.My Endo also strongly recommended the booster jab although I didn't need any persuading! I would be more concerned about the effects of Covid if I hadn't received it . Hopefully you will be reassured by everyone's positive comments and decide to go for it!
