What Immunisations should / have you have while taking Mycophenolate Mofetil?

[Yourinmyspot]

I know you can’t have any live vaccines and I’ve had my flu and Covid booster. I presume thats all I qualify for as I’ve never been invited for any others. I take 3g a day for a skin condition.

I had the shingles vaccine and also one for hospital acquired pneumonia whilst on Mycophenolate - however, whether this was just because of the medication or illness too, I’m not sure.
I would definitely push this with your surgery or consultant, because in my experience they’re not always great at sorting this out.

I’ve just had the flu jab. I won’t have any more Covid ones as I react so badly to them - and yes I know how serious Covid can be; spent a week in hospital with it in September and pneumonia, but the vaccine itself almost puts me in an adrenal crisis (I have Addisons as well as lupus).

I think I had one for pneumonia, probably something.else
The doctor who prescribed it should have made sure you had these

Also- make sure you get the regular blood tests for liver function, mirne were fine for the first few months but after a year my liver was wrecked

I’ve been on this for 6 years and the only thing I have had is the pneumonia jab. You should also have regular blood tests every month.

Not this medication but a similar autoimmune one and I had to have Chicken Pox vaccine as had no antibodies.
