On Ocrevus (similar to Rituxan). I had the Pfizer vaccine. No reaction after the first shot. But I had extreme weakness/fatigue after the second for about 24 hours. I slept all day and felt fine the next day.

I'm on rituxan. got pfizer... 1st ok 2nd got at 11:00 am felt off that day, next day could not walk or even stand long enough to brush my teeth.

good luck!
