Anticonvulsant and Covid vaccination

2021-04-28 13:06:18
I'm 27 years old and I'm undergoing treatment for epilepsy. I had my last seizure on the 14th of November 2018. I've had no seizures since. I'm currently following prescription- Levera 750, one tablet in the morning, and one at night. I'm otherwise healthy. Is it safe for me to get vaccinated for Covid-19? Are there going to be any side effects?

The Association of British Neurologists says all COVID-19 vaccines are safe for people with neurological conditions such as epilepsy.COVID-19 vaccines are not expected to interact with epilepsy medicines. This means the vaccine should not affect how your medicines work, and your medicines should not affect the vaccine.
