I'm on covid-19 vaccine waiting list and expect to be scheduled soon. After catching a cold a couple of winters ago my hemoglobin dropped and I required Rituxan transfusions to get it under control. I'm currently able to control AIHA with steroids but concerned how the vaccine may cause my autoimmune system to go in overdrive.

@gailiebird I understand your being anxious about your disease and the vaccine. I was nervous, too, but my oncologist and neurologist were thrilled that I had it. No reactions, thank heavens! But, I know we’re all different.
Have you talked with any of your doctors about the vaccine?
