Booster jab & trying to conceive

Post by emma93 »

Hi all,
In November we suffered an ectopic pregnancy, I’ve also been offered my booster jab and reluctant to get this as I worry this could or may affect any further complications. I don’t know what to do.
I’ve already had 2 doses, but of course, reading and seeing things, all the ‘whatifs’ come in to play too, any advise please? X

Same here. I'm waiting until I'm mentally prepared and recovered after one this, had two jabs and being called for booster.... colleagues reported feeling ill and passing out I'd rather not be dealing with that right now.

It it would be great to see if anyone has been given some information leaflets before the injection

Dear emma,
Unfortunately I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice regarding your query and would advise seeking medical advice with any concerns
It is recommended that every adult have a booster covid vaccination. This includes women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Sadly there is an increased risk of complications in pregnancy with Covid-19, which is why vaccination is recommended.
I have added a link to the government website which explains more here.
