Covid Vaccines/ Humira/AS
I'm looking for informed information about taking the covid vaccines while on Humira for AS. Any info or referrals would be appreciated.
My Rheumatologist told me that I need to get the same vacs. And I have resisted so far. I started Humira in April but had to go off of it for many weeks because of a surgery. Have been back on it 7 weeks and will not take covid or pneumonia vacs yet. I did take the flu as I work with kids. But not going to overload my immune system with all of them because a doctor want me to. One at a time when I feel my body is ready.
My Rheumatolgist insisted I get the vaccine since I'm on Humira and Arava
I was told by rhuemotologist last week, the covid vaccine is ok to take while also being on humira. She recommended i do get vaccinated. I have been on humira for 16 weeks now. I have not taken the vaccine yet. She would like me to have gotten the vaccine by our next appt where she then wants to give me a flu and pneumonia vaccine.
Ive never even taken a flu vaccine before. Ugh
Anyone On A Biologic Med, Have You Received/taken The Shingles Vaccine? Your Experience Afterwards? Side Effects?
Has Anyone Gotten Vaccines While Taking Humira Of Did You Stop Taking The Humira To Get Vaccines.
Has Anyone Else Developed AS Symptoms Only After Receiving The Covid Vaccine?
