“Acid reflux and the Pfizer vaccine?”
I am currently taking pantoprazole 40 mg. However, I do experience some chest pains because of acid reflux. I wanted to know if it is recommended to take the Pfizer vaccine even though I’m on the medication? Or should I wait?

Yes, the vaccine has nothing to do with your reflux and treatment.
The Covid Pfizer vaccine is safe for patients taking pantoprazole and with acid reflux.
I believe it would be safe. GI symptoms that have been reported with any frequency have been vomiting and diarrhea. I am not aware relux symptoms having been reported
I don’t see why this is an issue. You should contact the physician who treats you for acid reflux.
Being on medications or having these symptoms should not interfere with vaccination. I would recommend getting vaccinated.
There is no issue taking the vaccine and pantoprazole at the same time
