I have received four Covid vaccines (Pfizer) while on 2,000 mg of Hydroxyurea for ET. I had no problems with any of the vaccines and did not stop taking Hydroxyurea for any of them.

I have been fortunate to not have any major side effects from taking Hydroxyurea. I’ve experienced some dryness so it is important to keep hydrated. On the plus side, most of my headaches went away when I started Hydroxyurea.

Hello Zimmerman......I feel good about booking my fourth vaccine.I do not know why the doctor suggested I go off Hydrea before, but I am going to listen to what makes sense to me. I appreciate so much the feedback from you and others and wish you all the best. God bless......FROM Claire
