Hi everyone,
I’m Didi, new here. Got diagnosed March 2021, so everything’s still a bit recent. I’m wondering if anyone has any tips about the vaccine?
I got the first dose of the Astra Zeneca soon after my diagnosis, as I was categorized high risk. However, I ended up having a relapse. Doctors don’t know if it was the vaccine that caused it but it was my worse one yet - 10 weeks of symptoms and two new lesions.
So, we postponed getting my second one until I recovered / had my scans done. I have only now stabilized, so the option of getting my second vaccine is still there.
My question is, since it’s been 6 months between, do I need to restart my vaccine course? Should I go with a different one, like Pfizer?
I need to be vaccinated to travel, but am worried that the really big gap between my vaccines means I won’t be considered fully vaccinated.
Borders have finally opened between the U.S. and U.K. and I just don’t want to give them any reason to turn me away.
But I just haven’t been able to find guidelines or research anywhere. All travel rules only state “you must have had 2 doses of a vaccine”.
Any tips or pointers? Thank you!
