Bamlanivimab monoclonal antibodies interacting with COVID vaccines

Our paperwork we received said to get the vaccination after 90 days (as you stated), but it is the "BUT" we are very uncomfortable with. I don't like playing Russian Roulette. I am hoping that either Eli Lily comes forward with more information after checking with other recipients of the infusion who has had the vaccines. Or, hopefully someone will see this post who has had both and will comment. My son (who did not have the infusion but did have Covid) had a terrible reaction to the Moderna vaccination. Since we are seeing more and more reports saying the second vaccination is not warranted if you have had Covid, he skipped the second round. There are too many unknowns. There should be more information at this point in time if people who have had the infusion were (are) are tracked on their reactions to the vaccination.

@connie1977- I also had the Moderna shot and there's no way of getting around reactions to the second dose. It was rough. But except for being tired most reactions only last a couple of days for most people.
The only way that I'm hearing that the second shot is not needed if you have had the virus itself is by people outside of the medical field. Science experts say that everyone who can be vaccinated should be vaccinated.
There is way too much misinformation going around. As I have said, many times while on my bandwagon (quoting my friend @sueinmn) you have the right to make up your own mind about whether to have the vaccine or not. But please keep in mind that vaccines are necessary to protect populations of people so that we can get out of this mess.
I do understand your quandary, though. It would seem as if some information is slow to come but look at the strides that have already come, the knowledge that has already been gained. This is only a little over a year old and we all want answers immediately for our answers about our particular situations. Science sometimes takes a while to spew up answers, otherwise, it wouldn't be true, nor honest.
I hope that you get your answers. Please remember too, that Mayo Clinic would not advise for vaccines if we didn't believe in its results or the truth of its science. I am also aware that certain cases might take a bit more vigilance to help make those decisions.
