Benipali and Covid injection

[Jackie1947]

I can't remember if I stopped my weekly Benipali before I had a previous Covid jab. Senior moment

It's worth checking with your rheumy dept/ surgery, as suggested guidance re missing a dose or 2 of weekly meds around a booster has changed from time to time.

If you can't get hold of them in time to get an answer, look on the BSR website as there's guidance there (for the medics and you).

Thank you. The link is packed with a wealth of information.It says-Patients should not stop their immunosuppression but may wish to pause it around the time of the vaccine if their disease is under good control (see section 18)
