@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!

Hi Ginger and thank you for the reply. My hematologist is aware that I have not had a Covid vaccine and he stated they would not work for me anyway. I was too reluctant to take the regular Covid vaccine after seeing all the terrible side affects on VAAERS. He recommended the Evusheld vaccine at my appointment with him yesterday. Just wanted to find out if you had any reaction at all from it. I have never had a reaction to flu or pneumonia vaccines. I am looking forward to reading the discussions here as this diagnosis is pretty recent for me. Right now I am being monitored every 3 months as my IGA and IGG have continued to fall and my IGM continues to rise although he is not too concerned “yet”
