I don't know whether I can get vaccine or not, since I have 6 autoimmune diseases : RA, SLE, Fibromyalgia, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Thyroiditis Hashimoto, Psoriasis. Actually, I want to get vaccine.
Is it possible for me to get Moderna or AZ ?
Could somebody help me to answer my question, please ?
Please let me know, thanks Sofie

Hi Sofia,
Here is the information from the CDC
- People with Underlying Medical Conditions at Increased Risk from COVID-19 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/underlying-conditions.html

For autoimmune conditions, it states: People with autoimmune conditions may receive a COVID-19 vaccine. However, they should be aware that no data are currently available on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for people with autoimmune conditions.

It is best to discuss with your doctor.

I also invite you to join the discussions in the Autoimmune Diseases support group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/autoimmune-diseases/
