Has anyone with Crohn’s had a COVID shot yet and can tell if you had any problems because of it?

Hi
I would be remiss to first acknowledge that these vaccines are new and you should connect with your doctor, who has an understanding of your personal medical history, to determine whether taking it is right for you, personally.
That said, one of our community advocates

Yes I had my first covid jab last month and it was an absolute breeze! I didnt feel a thing at the time. And then the lady actually told me that I would most likely feel a bit groggy that evening and for the next day or two...
But I only felt tired and had flushed cheeks for an hour or two that night but other than that I had no other symptoms and haven't noticed that its impacted my Crohns at all!
My arm was bruised for about 3 weeks tho 😄 and a bit sore for a few days but it was totally bearable.
Highly recommend it, I personally feel the benefit completely outweighs the risks but yes, if you're not sure, speak to your IBD team...
