  1. Guidance on Chronic Illness and The COVID-19 Vaccine By The Doctor Weighs In

  2. As part of the COVID-19 patient support program, the Global Healthy Living Foundation and their digital, international arthritis organization, Creaky Joints, have been speaking to experts, reviewing peer-reviewed literature, and reading government guidance to understand what people living with chronic disease need to know about getting vaccinated.

  3. Living with Chronic Illness During The COVID-19 Pandemic • We’ve been living with the COVID-19 pandemic so long that it may be hard to remember what it was like before we all learned about the three Ws: • Wear a Mask • Wash Your Hands • Watch Your Distance

  4. What is The Most Important Goal for People with Chronic Illness During COVID-19? Regardless of your chronic condition, keeping it as well-controlled as possible — meaning low disease activity or remission — is the goal. When you have low activity, typically this means less pain, fatigue, or challenges completing the tasks of daily living.

  5. Stay on Meds, But Get Vaccinated! • Vaccination protects individuals and protects public health, which is why everyone over the age of 16 is eligible and encouraged to get vaccinated! (And the vaccine is in clinical trials to evaluate its safety and effectiveness  in children now, as well.)

  6. Which Vaccine is Right for Patients with a Chronic Illness? • Whichever vaccine is offered by a health provider or vaccination clinic is the right one for patients with a chronic illness. There are no meaningful differences that make one better or worse than another.

  7. What to Do After Vaccination? • Until a larger percentage of your local community and the country at large is vaccinated, it is recommended that all people, but especially those who have a chronic illness and might be immunocompromised, follow current public health guidelines, especially pertaining to wearing a mask, physical distancing, and avoiding crowds where you are unsure if others around you may or may not be vaccinated.
