I am still on 7 mg of prednisone for my adrenals. This is after PMR and GCA for 10 years. I also take Actemra shots bi monthly. Had 3 shots of vaccine. Is there any hope of immunity with me.

Hi Marilyn,
You're right that even 3 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine might not fully protect people from COVID-19 who have a weakened immune system that is caused by HIV, certain conditions or medications. You are advised to continue taking precautions, like masking, distancing, hand washing etc.

Mayo Clinic recommends that all eligible people to get the COVID vaccine. A high vaccination rate is our best chance at helping people like you who are immunocompromised.

Are the people around you also vaccinated?
