Yes, after I got PMR after the first shot 6 months ago, my rheumatologist suggested I wait before getting the second. After 6 months I’m still taking 15 mg prednisone but he suggested I take the second vaccine now. I’ve been hesitant because I’ve read that people taking prednisone don’t make antibodies after the shot— but he thinks I should anyway. I haven’t decided yet.

Did you ever decide? How did it go?

I got PMR before my first covid shot in Jan 2021. No serious side effects for me after 2nd and after a third booster. All my doctors say get the vaccine but they don’t know if I have any antibodies from vaccine. Has anyone on prednisone been tested for antobodies? Why don’t they test us to see? I am told take no chances in public. One Dr told me you will make antibodies on 20 mg or less.
