I just messaged my Dr wondering if my MS meds ( Tecfidera) qualifies me to be able to get the 3rd covid immunization, I would be much more comfortable having it with the Delta surge.
I’m not sure if we qualify does anyone know for sure?
Not sure about what meds qualify you for a booster or if just having MS is all you need. I had the antibody test and I have <1. Since they just approved the booster for us, now I have to figure out how to get it since they closed the mega site by us.
Yes, you qualify!
I saw something on the news about it yesterday and will ask my Neuro about it next week. If it' available I will definitely get it!
Great question…. Tecfidera is not a drug for those of us with MS that’s showing up in the antibody spike blood test to see if the vaccine is detected in your system - as opposed to infusions for MS like - Ocrevus, methotrexate, Rituxan…
I’d definitely ask your neurologist to run the antibody blood test - they know best & you’d have some peace of mind!
Stay safe and we need to keep wearing masks in crowds and grocery stores….
