You will probably be given the Pfizer (or Moderna) vaccine which are recommended for the booster. Your medication won't make any difference to that. On those you should have a good response.Have a look at the recent discussions about whether to miss your methotrexate for a couple of weeks.

It's up to the docs . You probably won't be offered a choice but your meds I don't believe have a bearing on what you are offered. Good luck getting sorted soon x

I don't think you will have a choice. It will be Pfizer or Moderna. Pfizer seems to be the one most people are being given.

Lots of people are using pfizer for the third dose shot, So I will recommend pfizer. If you have some panic or fear, please consult with your health expert before taking dose.

Thank you. I’ve spoken with my RA nurse but didn’t get an answer. My GP can’t help at all with vaccines

Sorry I don't know the answer to that, when you go for your jab ask the medical staff there and they will be able to tell you...

Hi, I had my first round of rituximab, 5 weeks ago. I’ve been told I can have the covid booster and flu jab together. Is this advisable?

Has anyone spoken to Rheumatology nurses etc and asked about the efficacy of the vaccine. I was told 75 % on Friday others say only 40% ?

Efficacy?
