I had my Covid booster in August of 2021. I noticed that my walking deteriorated after that. Do you think there could be a connection? . By the way I do advocate getting the vaccines.

Members responded to a question about whether the Covid vaccine may be connected to worsening Parkinson's symptoms, with many sharing their personal vaccination experiences and mixed outcomes. Several members reported no changes after receiving their shots and boosters, while others noticed temporary or lasting worsening of symptoms like tremors, walking difficulties, and balance issues shortly after vaccination. A recurring theme was uncertainty about a direct link, with many agreeing that more research is needed, and most members still expressing support for getting vaccinated while encouraging others to consult their neurologist.

My PD symptoms got worse for about 24 hours after my Pfizer shot. Then each time I got covid (two times) my PD symptoms became worse at the onset of covid for about three days

I’ve had my vaccination and the boosters. My symptoms get worse for about 24 hours: I’d do it again to avoid Covid

I just got diagnosed with Idiopathic parkinson's last week. Not on meds yet because levadopa made my symptoms better then worse. I got the booster in Dec, in Jan my symptoms all got way worse!
