I think this is a question we are going to asked a lot, so I thought it would be a good idea to keep what we know in one place.
There are two types of vaccine. "Live (attenuated vaccine)" and "Dead (inactivated vaccine") currently 4 Live and 19 Dead are in the running. 0 Live and 5 Dead are in human trials, the 5 Dead vaccines are being used under emergency use in some countries.
People using Bio's or Methotrexate to treat psoriasis are advised not to take Live Vaccines, but as (at the time of writing) none of the 5 vaccines being used are Live then it should be ok to take the Covid Vaccine.
*Note: You should always check with the person prescribing your treatment.
If any of our members are having a Covid vaccine please feel free to post in this thread. Your input could help others in their decisions and I will update this post when we know more.
