Are there medicines that should be paused before COVID vaccine?

@olduncledave. I had just received an antibiotic order the day before my first vaccination from my pulmonologist (Mayo) and he advised it was fine to get the vaccine (1st shot). I probably experienced more fatigue, but other than that it’s been fine.

@olduncledave, I checked with my pulmonologist and other specialists before taking my first Covid vacc. All advised to continue the daily meds before and after the vaccs. Happy to report that absolutely no after effect ff the 1st Moderna and only 2-3 days of serious fatigue ff the second. Reading more reports that fatigue can be an after effect of the vacc but what a small inconvenience in contrast to getting the virus! Such a relief to have had both vaccs and would encourage others to check with their docs if there are questions regarding daily meds or conditions prior to having the vaccs.

@migizii- Good morning. There really isn't enough data as yet to suggest that there is a significant reduction in immunity if you need to take medications prior to the vaccine. When I have to take an antibiotic I usually get tired after a couple of days. Since you had the vaccine and another new medication so close to each other there really isn't any way to tell what caused your fatigue.
Have you watched Dr. Poland's podcasts?
I hope that your fatigue is the only side effect so far! Have you had any more?
