An appointment for MRI studies is NOT a contraindication for a vaccination of any type. If you were to have a reaction, typically would last no more than 3 days. Get your COVID-19 protection ASAP.

YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT BEING VACCINATED NOW SO GET VACCINATED ASAP THAN GET YOUR MRI.

The likelihood that the vaccine causes a change in the MRI would be extremely small. I would proceed as scheduled with both vaccine and MRI.

The likelihood of the vaccine causing a change in your MRI findings is vanishingly small. Get the vaccine
