That's such a good question, @sus9. Several medications such as Entyvio (vedolizumab) that are helpful can also lower your immune system's ability to fully protect you. This shouldn't make you fearful, but, as you are doing, get informed on how you can protect yourself.

@carolyne offered her approach. I'm also bringing in other members like @meeshka @ladaarts @buchansd @dval @mariajean03 @jjob73 who have experience with Entyvio to get their helpful tips.

Sus, I applaud you for doing your homework before starting a new medication.
