Question : I am getting my first coronavirus vaccine tomorrow afternoon. On Monday I am scheduled for 4 blood tests. Should I reschedule the blood tests? Will they effect the efficacy of the vaccine?

Brief Answer:
No need to reschedule.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I would recommend that you go ahead and get the vaccine and the blood tests, the blood draw will not affect the efficacy of the vaccine in any way, and it should be completely safe.

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions about that, and I would be glad to discuss it with you further.
Thanks.
