Methotrexate & vaccines

My new Rhetorical had me get my first shingles vaccine before I started MTX. Strongly suggested I get the new Covid vaccine and flu in October/November. I’ve had 5 Covid vaccines with absolutely no negative effects. Three people I know are currently sick with Covid, and I volunteer weekly at a low barrier homeless shelter.
I have heart and lung problems, so yes, I’m going to be vaccinated but will space them out.

Think I will go ahead and do both the vaccines per rheumatologist advice. I’ll double check his advice when I contact him.
Thanks for your response.
