@darlia Considering your medications it's understandable you would want to educate yourself before getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
@devonsnana Thank you for the reliable resources that you linked and your testimonial.
@darlia You will notice that I added your question to the COVID-19 group. I did this so you could not only connect with members like @pinchas @joybringer1 @nana75165 @artist01 @boomerexpert @gailiebird @susandenise @ske22 @dinoman @olduncledave @migizii @fiesty76 @silverwoman @contentandwell in both groups.
Below I have linked discussions that you may wish to scroll through for information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and other health issue.
- Are there medicines that should be paused before COVID vaccine? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/covid-vaccine-reaction-with-medicine/
- To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is the question. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/to-vaccinate-or-not-to-vaccinate-that-is-the-question/
Did you have a chance to ask a provider or your pharmacist about intercations between your medications and the vaccine?

Hi John,
Yes, I've discovered that Hydroxicloriquine and prednisone BOTH lower your immune system for infection, so I am concerned too because I heard that taking the vaccine will lower your ability to resist infection too. Plus having as thyroid condition, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is only one of my many autoimmune disorders. The endocrine system .. and my autoimmune markers specifically for the thyroid are really high which shows up in my labs and tells me that even while on medication, the autoimmune markers are high so then how does that equate to if it's ok or not to take the vaccine? That's what I'm trying to find out. Don't feel bad if no one at Mayo knows the answers. The CDC post on their own website under Autoimmune disorders doesn't even know. Here it is,:
★People who have autoimmune conditions
People with autoimmune conditions may receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. However, they should be aware that no data are currently available on the safety of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines for them. Individuals from this group were eligible for enrollment in clinical trials.
But you can see. There are NO, ZERO clinical trial info listed. They have nothing!
