Like many others here, I have consistently gotten my immunizations through the time I had MAC, because I want to eliminate or reduce as many other risks of illness as I reasonably can. My docs were fully in agreement with this.
@scoop, @pacathy, @becleartoday and others, what have you done?
Did you ask your pulmonologist or ID doc?

My pulmonologist encouraged me to get the vaccines available including Covid boosters. I did until the last several months when an autoimmune issue that had been in remission recurred. The immunologist (only one with opening) told me not to get the Covid booster until things settled down. The pulmonologist repeated the pneumococcal vaccine from a couple years ago because I had an inadequate response and I had no issue afterwards. I have appointment with Penn immunology next month and am hoping they’ll ok the booster since I want to travel a few more places.
To my knowledge, I do not have MAC but have bronchiectasis and a possible immune/antibody disorder, and I have continued to get all recommended vaccines. Immunologist wanted me to wait 2-3 weeks between vaccinations. That's the only restriction I remember.

Thank you I did. I was lucky and I heard back from my ID doc. Great to hear it from others too. Hopefully I will feel ok now that I have had it.
