Getting new Covid booster and RSV
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Jan 4 8:42am | Replies (89)Comment receiving replies
I have read, and I was told by my PCP and Pharmacist, that you should not get the Covid booster, flu shot, etc., as long as you are experiencing LT Covid symptoms, and/or flu-like symptoms, so I don't know when I will ever be able to get my boosters/shots! LOL! But, seriously, this is what I was told. I am still taking that in, thinking about it, and considering what I will do. Ayone else?

May I ask, where did you read that information? My PCP has said just the opposite, She thinks I should get the booster. She told me that some patients have actually gotten better after boosters. This is so confusing and distressing. If anyone else has some decent info, please post it on this site.
I am confused because I met with a Doctor that told me he had seen research where a booster could help with Long Covid.I just don't know.I am nervous it could make me worse,but it would be Amazing if I ended up getting better from it.
In addition to continuing to battle long COVID (I got COVID in March 2020), I also have a primary immunodeficiency. My immunologist strongly recommended both the updated COVID vaccine and also that I get the RSV vaccine. After having gotten the mRNA COVID vaccines previously, I went with Novavax for the updated version, and was pleasantly surprised to suffer NO adverse events, unlike with the mRNAs. I ran a fever for about a day and a half following the RSV vaccine, but no other ill effects. Neither vaccine affected my long COVID either positively or negatively.
