COVID Booster, Prednisone and PMR

Had a phone appointment with my primary care physician yesterday. Currently on 4 mg prednisone. I had Moderna in March and she said I could get the booster now. When I got the first and second shots, I had to go up on the prednisone because I got more symptomatic. I’ll see what happens this time. I’m ready to begin tapering to 3 mg, but will wait until after the booster.

Weis market pharmacy told me federal guidelines were that I had to be on 20 mg. Prednisone per diem to qualify now for a booster. The woman would not let me schedule because I am on 4-6 mg. a day and have been since 2012. I have to look into this. My last Pfizer was March 3. Thanks for your report.
