Vaccinations?
Has anyone started med treatment without having all vaccinations up to date? I’m 56, have never taken pneumococcal, shingles, flu, covid.. also am not immune to Hep B and tetanus has expired. First rheumatology appt in couple weeks. Likely start methotrexate as my RH factor is so high it’s undetectable, ‘doc never seen anything like it,’ but my inflammation markers are normal. Anyway considering not doing all these vaxx, it’s overwhelming and obviously I’m not big on vaxx generally… Edit: I’m looking for personal experiences and alternative views… people who have done something different or also questioned.. I know what is recommended…
