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.

@1oldsoul Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!
A few questions come to mind as I read your post. Have you experienced reactions to vaccines or their components in the past? Is your hematologist aware you have not had any Covid-19 vaccines, yet? What prompted him/her to recommend Evusheld for you?
Evusheld is a pre-exposure prophylaxis for people who may be immunocompromised or have medical conditions that put them at high risk. Here is some additional information from their website: https://www.evusheld.com/en/patient
Within our transplant group, there is a discussion about Evusheld, also, that you might want to read: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/evusheld/
I'd like to know your thoughts on this!
