It’s been 3 months since my last Rituximab infusion so Dr. Villa Forte said I could now get the booster. The clinic that administered the shot told me that immnocompromised patients get a full dose of the vaccine while others get a half dose. I got the injection on Monday.
I slept all day Tuesday. I had a low grade fever (100.5) and zero appetite. This morn(no, Wednesday, I feel mush better. I don’t know if it will protect me but I got it anyway. I’ll continue masking, avoiding crowds and restaurants.
