I received my 2nd dose in early Feb. Didn't start having issues for about a week afterwards. I didn't have prednisone until last week, so late July. If it didn't do it's job by then, so be it.
Seems it's not working for the vast majorities anyway since masks are going back in style throughout the country.
This is all just so craxy.

Do you mean the vaccine is not working, or the prednisone?
Prednisone is notoriously fickle when it comes to neuropathy - some it works for, other it doesn't, still others need the dose tweaked to get results. Or sometimes another med can help.
As to the vaccine, some encouraging statistics have come out recently - depending on location, 90-90% of Covid hospitalizations, and 99%+ of Covid deaths are among the unvaccinated. So even if you get Covid after vaccination, you have a very good chance of a mild or asymptomatic infection.
The masks are being recommended because it appears that those who are vaccinated may be able to spread the infection. This is currently being studied at the University of Minnesota and several other locations. Stay tuned for further information.
