COVID-19 Vaccine Education

SHOULD INDIVIDUALS WITH AI STRESS DOSE PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE COVID-19 VACCINE?

"I do not advise using extra glucocorticoids on the day before or on the day of vaccination. I suggest the individual with adrenal insufficiency wait to see if significant side effects occur, usually the day after the vaccine. If there is fever, significant muscle aches and pains, and especially nausea or any typical adrenal insufficiency symptoms, I would then add stress dose steroids in addition to treating any fever with acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

I have spoken to many of my patients about their experiences, and many report no side effects at all. Those that did have significant symptoms were individuals who had a history of acute Covid-19 infection earlier in the year, and then had the vaccine."
