I assume you mean Ocrevus infusion? Do you get them 5 months apart? (May-Oct)

The vaccine timing sounds good from what I have read regarding ocrevus and vaccinations.

Yes Ocrevus every 5 months just started, Oct will be second time. I have been in semi private lockdown was hoping timing seems right, thanks helpful

Just be aware, in case you aren’t already, that those of us on B-cell depleting DMT’s like Ocrevus don’t get full immunity from the vaccine. There are lots of posts here about this and I’ve put links in other posts to info from solid sources. Just use the search box at the top right if you are interested and key in the words Ocrevus vaccine.

Thank you, I don’t think I will ever be maskless in crowded places and indoors. Too scary.

Not that this is helpful to you but most insurance companies will not approve it at 5 months or mine doesn't. They will only cover it every 6 months. The manufacturer recommends every 5.
