Dit zijn slechts 2 van de 6 namen die in de flowchart staan?4. Are the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines ‘live’ vaccines?
The approved Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccines are not ‘live’ vaccines. Neither is the third vaccine that’s approved, made by Moderna.
A ‘live’ vaccine contains a weak version of the virus or bacteria they prevent. Many neurologists would suggest you avoid 'live' vaccines if you’ve recently taken certain DMTs or high-dose steroids. This is because although the virus or bacteria that the vaccine contains is weakened, there is still a small chance that it can cause disease in people with immune systems that have been weakened by DMTs.
Misschien heel naïef, maar ik verwacht dat mijn huisarts afstemt mijn mijn neuroloog, omdat deze de voorschrijver van mijn medicatie en mijn hoofdbehandelaar is.
