I was diagnosed with AIHA back in 2006 and was on prednisone for two and a half years after that. I had a splenectomy and that helped me to stop the treatment with prednisone. Being on prednisone was a nightmare for its side effects. I consulted with my family doctor if I should get the Covid19 vaccine, and after reviewing my clinical history, he agreed with me that I should wait until a vaccine without this MRNA technology comes. He's very concerned that if I get any of the MRNA vaccines, I have big chances of developing AIHA and need treatment with prednisone again. He advised me to wait until more research related to AIHA is conducted and a different vaccine comes.
Now, I've being pressured by my employer to get this vaccine at risk of losing my job. The tribunal in charge of medical exemptions for the Covid19 vaccine won't accept my doctor's note.
Has anyone been in this situation?
