MAC and getting the COVID vaccine
This is a wonderful team...like a real cooperativa family...we are a band of patients that strategize together...amazing. All good dialogue for “rits”...I also believe the CAT scan would be a good step...it arms the doctor with evidence.
I have another question for the group...what are the feelings on “us” being candidates for the Covid vaccine? Has anyone yet vaccinated? I see my ID doc this afternoon...it is one of my concerns. Any feedback appreciated.

jr2366 Jennifer, what reason did he give?? My pulmonologist tells me I should get my vaccine shot.
Hard to imagine why you shouldn't get vaccine.
There was a video from an NTM or MAC conference by a doctor from Chicago who had treated some of her MAC patients for Coibvd, and she said they did OK, which was huge relief.
Hey Jennifer, ex cathedra proclamations may fly in a traditional religious venue, but this forum is not that. I think most participants here would be leery of proceeding without being privy to the doc’s reasoning. Don

@hauoli, since this discussion is about MAC and the COVID vaccine, you may wish to repeat your question about saline and budesonide in this discussion:

Thanks Colleen, Ill ask my questions at a more appropriate time.
My pulmonologist encouraged me to get the vaccine. I recieved my second Moderna shot on Thursday and had no reaction, not even a sore arm. I’ve never had reactions to flu, shingles, or pneumonia vaccinations either. One benefit I see is a mental one....the freedom to venture out of the house more and to socialize more. I was told to stop going to the gym and promptly gained weight. Exercise is a must and I’ll strive to add it back into my daily routine in two weeks, when the vaccination will have kicked into max effectiveness.
Mine recommended I do get it. I had an ablation for A Fib but I have no other current issues
I follow this forum regularly. I am so happy it is here. I am not sure if i am on the forum because I have replied but have never seen my respounce on the screen. I am in can .

Just when I said that i saw it posted. My mother 94 just received her first covid shot. I wonder my self about getting the shot with our poor ammune response. Thanks Nan
