Does anyone know if the RSV vaccine is a live vaccine? I’m on Simponi a infusions and don’t believe I can take it if it is a live vaccine.

Hi Debbie,

I would like the answer to this as well. My Rheumatologist says no live vaccines. This next week the new covid vaccine along with RSV will be released.

The Covid shots are MRNA not live. No clue about the RSV shot, ask doctor on that one. Since my Humira is only every other week, I schedule Covid and flu shots on the week I don't take the Humira.

Yes, and with our meds causing reduced immunity I am always looking for extra help.
