VAERS reporting of symptoms after COVID-19 vaccine

I am on 2mg of prednisone for a week now, I started my treatment in September of last year. My question is when do I get the Covid vaccine and which one is the best for not upsetting the immune system? I was told that at 2mg's one can get the vaccine and many have thought that the J&J would be a better choice, having an adenovirus is that better than the other two choices. I just don't know and am curious what other participants have experienced? Also, I add to many others statements, without this website I would have felt so alone. Thank you, sincerely.

@sue16833 I, too, am on prednisone-10mg a day. I received the Pfizer vaccine at the urging of both my neurologist and oncologist, both of whom keep an eye on my immune system. I have had no problems at all. I’m sorry I don’t know all the scientific information that you probably would like, so I’ll ask @loribmt to join the conversation.
What has your doctor advised regarding the 2nd dose?

Sue - I am going to address this to another of our mentors, who has more experience than I with PMR & prednisone.
@johnbishop - Hidden in the "fine print - in Sue's profile, is a mention of PMR.
Do you know the current recommendations for the Covid vaccine while on low-dose prednisone, and whether the neurologists prefer one vaccine over another for PMR?
