Vaccine Protection and Rituximab

Now had three weeks since second Pfizer jab so as protected as I can can be and next week have my latest Rituximab infusion as per guidelines but how much protection do us who are on continual immune suppressants do we have from COVID. It seems to have gone quiet and I though research was being done. I go out with my wife shopping and have the odd afternoon in the pub garden but I am obsessive about face masks and social distancing and I should be. Anyone got and new info?

Research is ongoing at the moment. Vasculitis UK is funding one of the research projects which specifically looks at vasculitis patients on Rituximab.

It is early days for reports to be published though.

You can read about the research here: vasculitis.org.uk/news/vasc...
