I was presented the opportunity to get Evusheld today because I receive ivig and qualify for emergency use. I set up an appointment for Tuesday but I have my 6 week ivig appointment the day before, on Monday. I didn't get the chance to ask my doctor, and information is relatively scant, does anyone see an issue with having an ivig infusion one day and Evusheld the next? (I'm not currently receiving any treatment but CLL is progressing and will likely have 2nd treatment asap).
Thanks!
This is a question for your Doctor. If it was me, I would probably get the Evusheld and put off the IVIG for a couple of weeks. But I would run it by my Doctor. Evusheld would be the priority for me.
Thanks Davidcara- I think I will go to my ivig and ask while I’m there. I’m hoping the infusion nurses will be able to get a hold of my specialist before they get started. I hate to miss an ivig but Evusheld does seem more important at this time!
Please keep us posted on what you find out…I personally wouldn’t change a thing…I would do both.
All the very best in what ever you do!!!

Thanks Panz!! I’m thinking that’s what will likely happen but I’ll send an update after Monday ☺️
Can't give medical advice, but I can't see any medical reason that it could be an issue. Still ask your docs, but I bet there are no data.
Thanks Dr. K- appreciate it!
So just following up to say I did have IVIG Monday and Evusheld today after confirming with my doctor that that was okay. Since Evusheld is a combined therapy I got one antibody on one side of the butt and a different antibody on the other. Sorry if that’s TMI. It’s quick. Just a small poke. No reaction. Omicron keeps getting closer and closer to my family and workplace so I hope this provides some extra security if it finally hits. I feel hopeful that we will see this thing through someday soon 🙏🏼
