News regarding What To Do if your covid immunity is low: My fairly stable but gradually increasing IGM kappa MGUS of 7 years apparently led to low response to covid vaccines. Moderna 2+2 was ineffective. Due possibly to a number of co-morbidities, I was accepted to receive Evusheld yesterday. Total 600ml of two related formulations, one in each side of my behind. All went well. That should keep me from needing to sequester as much for the next six months when it will be necessary to repeat this regimen.
Suggest asking your doc to check your covid immunity to determine if you may be a candidate for this new vaccine. Warning: it IS new. At otherwise high risk, I went through with it. So far, so good!
Good luck White Pine and everyone!

Hi, I just joined and saw your post about Evusheld. I was just diagnosed with MGUS last year and my hematologist just recommended the Evusheld yesterday. I have not taken Covid vaccine previously. Just want to ask if you ever had a reaction to it? I’m 68 and a bit nervous about vaccines.
That was old news. FDA no longer approves Evusheld for emergency use. There was an increase in heart problems following Evusheld injections.
Abbott Labs measures antibodies. Mine were much improved following sixth (bivalent) Moderna. This fall the covid vaccines may be better still, though their effectiveness declines.
Meanwhile I’m still mostly sequestering and wearing an N95 mask when around others. Even now, in July, a friend just caught covid. It’s still with us! Take care, all!

We believe that my numbers increasing may have to to Covid. I have all 2+2 available but still had Covid in February, lucky a mild case. Ratio shot up and so didn't everything else. The oncologist told my it is no longer if but when I transition to MM. So now blood draw every three months rather than every six months. The waiting game is difficult so I keep very busy and am grateful that I feel great.
