Really happy for you. It sounds reassuring that it would be a good fit for you. Unfortunately I do have some heart issues now. That’s what’s held me back so far. My Echo says my heart muscle is healthy except for mild mitral prolapse. But I’ve developed increased heart rates, skipped beats and extra beats and pots after getting vaccinated. My cardiologist said she knows nothing about Evusheld to advise me! I am in the process of looking for an immunologist/allergist to see what they have to say about my situation. Did you make an appt with a general immunologist/allergist or did they have a special interest in vaccines? If it’s any reassurance for you My rheumatologist said He didn’t believe Evusheld would cause the same reaction as Pfizer did in me because it has a different type of antibody. But we also didn’t know about my heart issues at that time. I hope you get approve. Wishing you all the best next week. Please let me know how you make out.😊

I received the Evusheld injections last week. Thankfully, all went well. I have not had any side effects to this point. I read that the protection begins within about one hour after the shots. When you receive the vaccines, the body needs to produce antibodies but with this, lab produced antibodies are injected and therefore ready to go. I found that very interesting.
I hope that you’re able to find safe protection from Covid with your other health considerations.

I’m sorry that you have issues that might compromise you if you received Evusheld. I did see a general immunologist/allergist. Thank you very much for the reassurance your rheumatologist voiced. I appreciate that. I have already been approved for the shots, thank you. I hope that you find a doctor who can give you the best advice possible for your personal situation. I completely understand the concerns about trying to seek appropriate protection against Covid. I will try to report my experience with Evusheld. Again, I wish you the best of luck.
