I have been taking acyclovir 500mgs die for 2 years. Should I stop the medication before or after the Covid vaccination?

Hello,

No, you do not have to change your treatment to receive your Covid vaccine. There is no interaction between the two.

(although it is more likely that you will receive Valacyclovir and not acyclovir)

I hope this answers your question.
