@darlia- Good morning. It is true that certain medications and their interaction with the Covid-19 vaccine will change how your immune might react. What may be concerning is if you are in a flare-up or if your Rheumatologist precautions you against having a particular vaccine. There are studies going on now for many different illnesses and diseases. It's only been a year since we've had this virus so not every group has been tested. I'm sure that there will be many changes that we will see in the future.

I have Discoid Lupus that has been in remission for years. I'm very, very lucky. When it was active I did take Plaquenil. My twin had Systemic Lupus, as you do and I can concur that it's one very lousy illness. I give you a lot of credit for being on here for support and offering it.
How are you doing?
