Coronavirus and hypertension: should i take my blood pressure medicine right before i get the covid-19 vaccine?

Doesn't matter: The timing of either in relation to one another does not matter. It takes hours for you to absorb any oral pill and it takes hours to weeks before the vaccine will trigger an immune response.

COVID 19 vaccine: I agree with Dr. Ferguson. I have not seem any directives that an individual would need to change the timing of taking antihypertensives if they receive a COVID 19 vaccine.
