Is there any connection between CRP levels and getting the COVID vaccine? And if there is, what CRP level should I be looking out for? Also, are there other things I should keep an eye on before getting vaccinated?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is not directly related to covid vaccination. However, it can be used as a marker of inflammation in the body. There is no specific CRP value that determines eligibility for covid vaccination. Before taking the vaccine, it is important to check for any allergies to vaccine components, previous adverse reactions to vaccines, and any current illnesses or infections. It is also recommended to inform the healthcare provider about any medications being taken, especially immunosuppressive medications.

I'm wondering if fasting is necessary for a Vitamin B12 blood test. I had mine done about 3 hours after lunch, and now I'm second-guessing whether that might have affected the results. Should I think about getting it retested?

A Vitamin B12 blood test does not typically require fasting. It is usually safe to have the test done at any time of the day, regardless of when you last ate. Since you had the test done 3+ hours after lunch, there is no need for a retest. The results should still provide valuable information about your Vitamin B12 levels.
