Hello—unhappy to report that it seems my MS treatment (rituximab) may limit protection of my covid vaccine. A recent John’s Hopkins study focused on transplant recipients shares this kind of concern. A month after my 2nd Moderna shot, my doctor recommended I get an antibody test; results were negative. I hope we’ll find out there is T-cell protection despite my lack of B cells due to years of ritux; my immediate (maybe panicked) response is to take a treatment holiday and consider changing my DMT. Pardon my French, but what a big damn drag.
