I’ve been talking with my medical team about the Covid vaccine and it’s efficacy when you are on one of the B cell depleating DMT’s like Ocrevus or Rituxan. One of the team shared with me the info from a NMSS email that goes out to Clinicians not patients. I’m looking forward to reading the guidelines.

Thank you for posting this information it will be interesting reading what they find. 😊

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Regardless I will still be extremely cautious anyway as usual.My last conversation w Neuro office was you need B cells to produce antibodies which mine are 3 years depleted so I am curious as to what they end up advising.
