Hello ma'am, I can reassure you: there is no particular problem or contraindication with receiving your COVID-19 vaccine dose the day after your last antibiotic dose for your UTI ! It is more when a person is in an "out of control" infectious state (e.g. during severe infection) with an affected general condition that it is best to delay the COVID-19 vaccine, which does not sound like you. 🥳 It is because of people like you, who are receiving the vaccine, that we can hope to see the end of this pandemic ! Please feel free to contact us with any other questions! ☺️ Marc-Antoine Dufresne, pharmacy intern (Pharm.D), supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist.
