DMT and Covid-19 vaccinatiobs
I am fully vaccinated for Covid-19 and yet my antibodies are extremely low or non-existent. I understand this may be caused by the DMT I am taking (Ocrevus). Will I have to take boosters forever to protect myself (I have already taken 2 vaccinations and 3 boosters on the last year and a half) or should I switch to a DMT that will not have this affect (if there is any)?
, I wish I had a clear answer for you at this time, but like many things when it comes to covid, I don't know. If you haven't done so already, I think this would be a great topic to discuss with your physician. Only you can decide what the best course of action is for you and your health.
Do you have strong side effects with the Covid vaccines? Is your DMT working well for you overall?
I know getting annual boosters may not seem like a great prospect, but if it keeps you protected, it may be worth the hassle. I personally hope Covid vaccines continue to become more targeted and effective, possibly resulting in fewer boosters, but I guess we'll just have to see how things work out!

Hi
. Have you asked your doctor about Evusheld? Here is an information sheet about it from the FDA: https://www.fda.gov/media/154702/download. It was developed for people who have trouble building immunity with the regular Covid vaccine. I hope this helps. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)
