Couldn’t find anything online about this - asking on behalf of a friend.

What is the minimum gap between Covid vaccine and able to do a blood test without it affecting the results? She requires blood tests and due for her 1st vaccine this month as she’s 40 next month 

Be helpful to know what the blood test is for.

I don’t know how the vaccine would effect the results unless you are testing for covid antibodies. In which case, having had the vaccine may or may not show an increase in antibodies as some people develop t-cell immunity, which wouldn’t show in a standard anybody test.

Sorry its Full Blood Count and a Thyroid one

These are questions for a medical professional not for a general forum like this.

My friend will ring GPs to see what’s best.

Just accompanied MrsP for her second jab. Very quiet at the centre so they 'did' me as well - two weeks early. Hope it's not a reflection of increasing no shows!

More likely it is because the vaccine centres are opening for longer, as more and more people eligible for the jab are of working age and more people are able to go back to work as lockdown eases. With longer opening hours, as well as vaccine availability increased, there is a greater chance of accommodating extras. Particularly at mass vaccination centres and for Astra Zeneca.
