Uk Covid vaccine

Hi I’ve previously had 5/6 covid vaccines but then stopped . I was diagnosed with MS about 2 months ago and I’m now wondering if I should start and have my Covid vaccine again. I have another autoimmune condition that entitled me to the vaccine. I always have my flu vaccine but I’m not sure if I sho...

COVID VACCINE

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and I was looking for some advice. I was diagnosed with MS 13 years ago and I have been very fortunate that I have kept well and I am on no medication and never have been. The only thing I take daily is VitD3 (5,000 units). I have postponed getting the vaccine ...

MS flare with Covid vaccine!

The first shot was fine, just a sore arm. I got the second one on Wednesday. Holy cow I don't know that ...

MS and Covid Vaccine link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9S2jooTxkQ As someone diagnoised with MS post Covid, and who had my first symptoms after taking the vaccine, this was very upsetting to see. Hope the link works. Briefly, the WHO have confirmed a likely link between the vaccine and the onset of MS or MS relapses. Ha...

COVID vaccine... Valid Concern

Hi everyone. I have a genuine concern when it comes to the vaccine. It has nothing to do with me being yay or nay about it. I'm all for anything that's good for humanity. My main concern is that twice that I had taken the flu vaccine, I relapsed the next day which led me to having weak left leg an...

4th covid vaccine

Hi everyone, yesterday I had a 4th covid vaccine and now I feel rubbish. Arm ache, headache and fatigue. I feel like I did after my first vaccine. Plus, it is raining really hard ☹️. Just needed to vent. Thanks everyone 😉.

Covid Vaccine

Hi, I've just read on the BBC that asthma sufferers won't get priority for the vaccine. Do we get priority with diagnosed MS or does it depend on medication? I'm on Tec... Thanks :)

COVID vaccine through NHS

I went today for my COVID and flu vaccine. As they are now only offering Pfizer, I've chosen to not take it until I look into the options further. Note, I have only ever had Moderna and was glad if this in light of the bad press on Pfizer. Anyone else encountered this?
