Very happy to say I’ve just had my first Shingrix shot at GPs today…booked in for the second in 2 months, there was no problem getting it when I mentioned that the rheumatology nurse advised it (I’m 62).
I’m due to start Rinvoq as the next treatment hope.Also take methotrexate. Rheumy nurse said it’ll be 2 weeks before start the Rinvoq following the 1st Shingrix shot (but no problem with the second shot).
I’m also due my 5th covid booster (had my 4th in March, no one ever contacts me I just book myself online) but a bit confused how to time manage this.
Can I have the covid booster whilst taking Rinvoq? Or best before start? Can I have it having had 1st Shingrix shot?
Any thoughts?

Thanks for that, yes the rheumy nurse advised I have the Shingrix vacc prior to starting the Rinvoq.Fortunately my GP was okay with this, think some do and some don’t. Have since learnt it’s okay to have the covid booster so I’ll book my 5th.
