vaccination and alopecia areata
Anyone had the vaccine, or is going to get vaccinated? Or maybe someone who had covid with Alopecia?
As Alopecia is an alteration in the immune system, maybe a more active immune response against a specific protein. That is what I hear from my dermatologist. I am afraid the vaccine might trigger a dangerous response. Please start the discussion

Hello! I plan to get vaccinated when I am able. My mother has an autoimmune disease that leaves her unable to live independently. Since she lives in a nursing facility, she is in line to be vaccinated as soon as medical professionals are dosed in her state. She and her friends, all who have disabling autoimmune diseases, will likely be vaccinated a year before me based on where we will and distribution plans. I plan to wait and see what happens with them (as they have no choice). I expect autoimmune conditions will react similarly, regardless of condition. Time will tell.....

I heard vitamin d is very important in this pandemic. Anyone with Alopecia got covid? Let us know, no-one can tell us if alopecia is a serious risk factor when infected with covid.

I am having the vaccine tomorrow Sunday 17th January I have done so much research and frankly have got nowhere with it. I am concerned about the vaccine as I have AU but I am so anxious I will catch Covid so trying to weigh it all up is a nightmare

Have you contacted your doctor? I am planning on doing it, but I think they do not know either. Consider to let us know how it went and how you feel after vaccination, it might be important for the Alopecia community.

Had it this morning, arm is aching and headache but that is all so far. Had a good chat to GP but, although they don’t expect any problems regarding autoimmune but they don’t really know as the trials were healthy adults. I will see how it goes over the next couple of weeks as my immunity kicks in and report back

I have no issues so far. My main concern is acquiring an additional autoimmune immune condition. I am currently 8 days in from the vaccine so my immune system hasn’t been given time to kick in properly yet so I’m keeping my fingers crossed all will be well. I will report again in another week or so.
