Should People Using These Drugs Get Vaccinated?
Dr. Meghan Baker also states the importance of getting vaccinated, even for people on immunosuppressive therapies. The bottom line is that if they can, they should get vaccinated.
Because immunosuppressive drugs do not cancel out the vaccines completely, a patient will still get some level of protection. This is all also dependent on the underlying condition that they are being treated for. In some cases, some patients may be unable to pause their medication, and if they can, a timeline has to be arranged before they even schedule their vaccine.
So, before you schedule your appointment, make sure to talk to your doctor.
