Hi,
I would like to know the side effects of covid vaccine ( when it will be available ) on itp.
Does anyone have any experience with available covid treatment and its effect on itp?
I am scared whether to take or not vaccine once it is available.

FYI diagnosed with itp more than 10 yrs ago. No treatment till now, course stay above 100.

Thank you.

If you have a hematologist you should ask him/her about this.
There is no vaccine now so who knows if it will have any affects on platelets.
Treatment? - what is the treatment for covid, that probably depends on the patients symptoms.

  • ITP since 2014. Retired nurse. My belief is empower patients to be involved as much as possible in their care. Read, read, read & ALWAYS question medics about the evidence base they use.
