The context provided does not contain specific information about individuals on Ocrevus receiving a third COVID-19 shot. However, here are some relevant points from the context:
- Ocrevus (Ocrelizumab): This medication is used to treat both relapsing and primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis. It works by reducing the number of CD20-positive B cells, which are involved in nerve cell attacks.
- COVID-19 Vaccination and MS: Studies have shown that individuals with MS who take CD20 immunosuppressive medications, like Ocrevus, can mount antibody responses to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna), but their responses may not be as strong as those who do not have MS.
- CDC Recommendations: The CDC recommends that anyone aged 6 and older who is moderately or severely immunocompromised should receive at least one dose of an updated COVID-19 vaccine.
Given your situation, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of receiving a third COVID-19 shot and to determine the best course of action based on your specific health needs.

You can certainly ask your dr about the antibody test, so at least you know how careful you need to be when you go out.
