Kia Ora everyone. My name is Te Aroha and I live in New Zealand. In 2007 I had my first open heart surgery mitral valve replacement and bentall procedure. In 2013 they replaced two more valves, life has certainly not been the same since. 8 years later covid interrupts the lives of everyone in the world including my workspace. My question to you all and i'm sorry if i'm in the wrong area to ask this but has anybody had the same procedures i've had on my heart and had the vaccination? with the pressures of work and the introduction of double vax I'm really keen to see if someone like me has had the vaccine and how they have been affected. I'm pretty scared to say the least and i've spoken to the GP and heart failure nurse and hoping my specialist would ring me, then i found this page and was wondering if anyone can help?

Rose Madura I had an aortic valve replacement, ascending aorta and arch/root repair done in 2017. I got the Pfizer vaccine in February 2021 and the 2nd shot in March. And I recently got the booster shot. I had a sore arm and could tell my glands were responding which told me it was doing what it's supposed to be doing. So basically, no problems from taking it. That being said, everyone is different and should consult with their doctor. Welcome to the site.

Jim Archer I had a Bentall Procedure in April 2020. I have all three shots of Moderna with little side effect, other than a day of feeling low and a sore arm. I did not consult with my cardiologist, based on news commentary that it should not affect me. Like Rose says, you should consult with your doctor to raise your concerns.
