I have gotten every COVID vaccine each season with no problems. We all respond to medications and vaccines differently. Because some people believe they are not FDA-approved, I wanted to be clear. Some are FDA-approved, and some are not. I suggest you speak with your doctor and pharmacist with any concerns you may have to help you decide what is right for you.

@A MyLupusTeam Member, I no longer care what anyone thinks when I say this, but my Lupus symptoms didn't start until I was forced by my previous employer to take the COVID vaccine. I understand that I already had SLE , since on average it takes about 7 years to get a lupus diagnoses, but shortly after receiving the second shot, I ended up in the ER and was admitted for 7 days with pericarditis. So no, I do not recommend those with compromised immune systems to take the COVID vaccine; also, I can and do take the flu vaccine with absolutely no issues. This is my truth, and always listen to your body, and I hope this helps.

I got the original shots that you had to get 2 of them but have not gotten any more. I have had covid twice so far. The 1st time was really bad and it almost killed me. The second time was no where near as bad.
