Covid jab/methotrexate

[Ann1A]

Hello helpful people, I'm sorry but I've completely forgotten.... should I skip a week of Methotrexate before the covid jab, or after it, or not skip at all ?

This was the reply from PMRpro when you asked the same question 2 years ago 😊

It doesn't stop developing an immune reaction with any vaccine but it does reduce it. It is the 2 doses AFTER the vaccination that should be omitted. Applies for the flu jab too - that is where it was originally investigated.

Sorry to have troubled you. I had a memory that there was a significance, but could not remember what. Apologies.

No probs… always best to check if you cannot remember… 😊

Not at all - probably the fastest way to know!!!

Thankyou, I was upset at thought I'd been time wasting
