• Covid-19 and Meningioma?

Is it safe to get the Covid vaccine if you have Meningioma and are on Lamictal? I'm waiting to hear from my doctor but just reaching out anyway.

No contraindications for Covid vaccine, you are not receiving active virus during vaccination, not even inactivated virus. Do not give during active virus infection or febrile syndromes.

Thanks for your question. There is no data on interaction of Lamictal with the covid vaccine. Some people with CNS disease have reduced vaccine response, but not associated with that medication. Consult with your neurologist if there are any new studies.
