Didnt get chance to answer a great Q on @sarahjulianotts show on @BBCNottingham about having #COVID19 #vaccine the starting #immunotherapy. If the therapy is designed to dampen down your immunity, then it might reduce the overall level of immunity that the vaccine produces.
But in this case, the therapy will start 14 days after vaccine, by which time immunity has often peaked (with Pfizer, maybe slight increase with AZ after this time). Therefore, the therapy will have very little, if any, impact.
And if you are currently on immunotherapy, then the vaccine committee have not precluded you from having the vaccine. Even if the overall response is reduced, I think in most people it will still offer some protection. Worried or unsure - ask your clinical orvaccination team👍
And @sarahjulianotts, this weekend I will walk the dog, AND go horse-riding, as that now is allowed. Saddle up 🐎
Not ‘some’ protection, ‘good’ protection is what I meant!
