@clcaev Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
Since your rheumatologist prescribed the Evusheld shot for you, were you indeed able to get it?

And forgive me for being curious, were you vaccinated beyond that for Covid-19? How about your family members? I live in a very small town surrounded by residents who basically refused to get vaccinated, and just yesterday heard from a knowledgeable person that Covid-19 is running rampant around here.

Yes. I was able to get Evusheld. I'm immune compromised to an extreme as we attempt to stop my vasculitus (I had my second flare ~3 weeks ago). I was told I'm due for another booster, however, it'd be pointless ... since I don't have any "b" cells.

Before my disease started, I had both vaccinations and had been boosted. Although I had some kind of cold when my disease started, I was COVID negative and an anti-body test later (for a shell protein?, not the spike protein) showed that I had not been recently infected. All my family members are vaccinated. I live in a big city. The positivity rate here has gone up immensely the last few weeks. My child's school just had a super-spreader event that infected a large number of kids and teachers. So many now have just given up and are going for herd immunity. I've heard otherwise reasonable people say: "well, if they aren't vaccinated by now, nothing we can do about it" as a justification for moving forward with policies that will cause spread of COVID.

I do hope you find safety. Really not much thought goes into protecting those who cannot be vaccinated, or those whom the vaccination would be pointless.
