I have an appointment for an Eylea shot in two weeks and I have to have my follow up covid -19 vaccine that week. I worry that having them too close may hurt my covid vaccine. My choice would be to delay the Eylea so that I have the shot 8 weeks after the previous shot or to have it one week earlier so I have it 6 weeks after the earlier shot. Not sure what to do. Due the pandemic I had to delay once but its not something I like to do. I cannot space the covid since this is the second shot of covid vaccine.

    The Covid vaccine is so new to all of us that i think you should be asking your doctor this question.

    The Eyelea medication is not anti viral so there may not be any problem at all, BUT better be be on the safe side and ask your doctor. Dont leave it to the last minute, so that if you have to reschedule your appointments you will have plenty of time.

    Follow what the doctor and vaccine specialist say, i personally do not think that the vaccine impacts eyesight, but it seems to be a form of an antibiotic.
