I’m curious too. And what if it’s required to travel or for work and those of us w RA can’t get it?

I found this from the CDC. There’s not enough testing done yet with auto immune patients. That doesn’t mean it won’t work, or that it would cause any problems. But for me personally, I’m going to hold off. My husband wants to get it though. Luckily I work from home and don’t go out. Hoping they’ll have data on this soon.

Even though I’ve had it, they are unsure how long antibodies last so it’s a false sense of security. Working at the hospital I’m exposed all the time and don’t want to chance getting it again. That’s what got me here in the first place. But I’m nervous about it

Thank you for sharing. I also had COVID in April. That brought my RA and psoriatic arthritis to the surface. I have always had bad feet but not like this. I’m on methotrexate and it’s helping but not enough. My vaccine is Friday. Fingers crossed. Did you get Pfizer or moderna?

It’s interesting because my PCP told me not to get it. She said to wait for the antibody test to come out and see if I had Covid already, which I think I did last January and then it wouldn’t be necessary to get the vaccine. And then I reached out to my rheumatologist and they said I should get it. I live in Massachusetts so I can’t get it until February at the very earliest possibly as late as April..
