Q: another covid question if you contract covid shortly after receiving the covid booster within the 2week timeframe can you also talk paxlovid during that time?

: You can take Paxlovid during that time if you are at risk for severe disease. If you have no risk factors for severe disease, you will likely only have minor symptoms and Paxlovid has potential side effects. So, discuss with your doctor whether or not the Paxlovid is indicated in your case. Best of luck to you!
