Avonex and Covid vaccine - same day?

Hi, my daughter has an appt for her Covid vaccine on Friday which is the same day she usually takes her Avonex jab. I've left a message for her doctor at the hospital but I am thinking it can't be good to take both on the same day. Any thoughts?

Covid vaccine, again?

I am on Avonex and I am due my second AstraZeneca vaccination. From what I have read I think this is okay to take both. I am not looking forward to it, I was unwell the first time and now I am unwell after my Avonex each week. I guess I will have to write the week off. Not good 👎, but hopefully wor...
