Covid Vaccines

[burden]

I keep getting different opinions. Does anyone know if any of the Covid vaccines are a live vaccine and suitable for people with immune problems.

[bobbinwales]

Your gp will know.

In the popular sense, the Covid vaccine isn't live.
As for underlying immunity issues, this will need to be discussed pre vaccination with the doctor.

[ToraToraTora]

no they are not live.

I don't know the answer to that, but Mr. J2 has had a very nasty skin allergic reaction all over his body and is hugely uncomfortable. They have completed a 'Yellow Card' which has to go in to log reactors. We are back at the surgery tomorrow now they've had a chance to confer. I have decided not to have the Pfizer vacc. and will wait for the Oxford-A-Z, since I already have a history of allergies - OH didn't have such a history.
You really need to talk to a doctor.

we have had this a few times before
No they are not
yes the are safe
yes you should have it
no one is too ill to have it if they can walk into a centre

the answers dont change from last time
xc probably muuch safer than we hoped

[Peter Pedant]

Yes I am immunoincompetent
yes I have every intention of having it

[bobbinwales]

You must be pretty high on the priority list Peter, have they give you a date yet?

blood cancer - level 4 - early feb
along with 70-75 y o

[Peter Pedant]

uptake is much higher in england
