Answer: Covid-19 vaccinations and autoimmune alopecia This is a difficult question to answer with certainty. I presume by FFA you are referring to frontal fibosing alopecia. At this point, the answer to the question as to whether or not Covid-19 vaccinations might cause flares of autoimmune disease activity is still not known. Currently, there is no evidence that vaccinated patients in the trials experienced new onset autoimmune disease. However, we do know that Covid-19 vaccinations occasionally cause significant swelling of dermal fillers, likely as a result of a pro-inflammatory effect. The good news is that these episodes of inflammation have reverted to normal within a few days, so the duration of the inflammation was self-limited. Theoretically, there may be a small risk that vaccinations might cause a flare of interferon-mediated diseases, which would include frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris, as well as conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Realistically, the risk is likely very small and if the FFA does flare, it should be controllable and likely fade quickly, although data is very limited right now. At this point, the benefits of Covid-19 vaccination are massive, and the possibility of a flare is small. Despite this, it is still early on and I'm not sure anyone can answer this question with absolute certainty yet.

Answer: COVID-19 vaccines and hair transplants Excellent question. I have had hair transplant surgeries in the past and I just received the first Moderna vaccine dosage. I read the Moderna original study and I didn't see hair loss as possible side effect or other high RISK side effects. So, I decide to go ahead with my vaccination plan. Obviously, there are NOT warranties in life and medicine but the vaccine will help us against the pandemic. It is PERSONAL and VOLUNTARY decision and you need to read in detail the PATIENT CONSENT FORM. Good luck.
