Hi Merry,
Thank you for the information.
But it only indicates that “People with weakened immune systems due to other illnesses or medication might be at increased risk for severe COVID-19. They may receive a COVID-19 vaccine. However, they should be aware of the limited safety data:
Information about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for people who have weakened immune systems in this group is not yet available”
As information about safety is not yet available, I was wondering if you have information about the side effects in people with systemic autoimmune diseases.
Or any of the members of this group.
If any has already received the vaccine with AD.
Thank you!

Hi @emmaar and @devonsnana I, too, was worried about taking the Covid vaccine, but I went ahead. My AD is not systemic like yours, it’s in my brain. I was on monthly chemo and 20mgs of prednisone but my doctor encouraged me to get the vaccine. I’m 2 months out now and doing well. Haven’t even had a cold! Can you think of anything that might make you willing to get the shot?
