A member asked:

I have a white patch where my tonsils used to be that hurts and a swollen lymph node in my neck on that side. is it most likely a viral infection and can i get a covid vaccine shot in a few days or should i wait?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait: It's generally advised to allow an active infection with or without fever to completely resolve before receiving a vaccine as it might compromise the body's ability to produce immunity.
