Still waiting for our first reply to this comment.
@pdietrich Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support. You have been told to never use vaccines due to the treatment you received for Myasthenia Gravis 40 plus years ago.
You will notice that I added this discussion to the COVID-19 group. I did this so that members from both groups could benefit from this conversation by sharing information and support. Members like @bbjones @ca426 @keggebraaten @ess77 have similar questions about their existing condition/treatment and the COVID-19 vaccine.
Below I have posted a direct link to the COVID-19 group.

COVID-19 is new, as is the vaccine. It's a difficult decision to weigh the risks of getting the vaccine versus the risks of potentially contracting the virus.
Below I have linked CDC information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and underlying conditions
- How CDC Is Making COVID-19 Vaccine Recommendations https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations-process.html
-Vaccination Considerations for Persons with Underlying Medical Conditions https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/underlying-conditions.html
I'm hoping other members will jump in with guidance they received regarding their particular condition and receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Here at Mayo there are designated COVID-19 providers that other providers consult with. I'm wondering if you consulted with a provider regarding the vaccine?
