    I get 1000 mg Rituxin 2 x year. Had all vaccines and booster, no antibodies. Evusheld is made to order. May not protect against latest Omicron, but the vaccines aren’t stopping it either. My rheumatologist has already emailed me that she, like other doctors, are trying to get Evusheld. It is said to give us 77% safety. Rituxin has saved my life, not giving it up.

    There are new meds to treat Omicron but they will be in short supply. There are efforts increase production of these drugs as they rush to make them available as they will be critical for us elderly vulnerable people. The flu and Omicron are over filling many hospitals already which is not good for everyone.

    Hardly left the house for almost 2 years and today I received an alert on my phone from NHS Track and Trace stating that I have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid.
    It gave the date, which was Friday just gone. This was one of the VERY few times I've left the house and guess where I went.........the vaccination centre to get my 4th jab. Typical
    I've not shown any antibodies from previous jabs and as it takes around 14 days from having the jab to create antibodies, it looks like if I've caught it from this positive close contact I'll be fighting it without any protection.

    Here’s hoping that you’ve only been exposed and won’t get it. Hope you have a good year coming up.

    Thanks @Masha
    The only person I was near to was a St. John's ambulance member who had been asked to watch over me due to previous bleeding problems after a pneumonia vaccine. She was wearing her mask, so hopefully I'll be fine.
    Hope you have a happy and healthy year ahead.

    Well, I guess rtx works really well for me, but at the cost of immunity to Covid. I had a Covid antibody test today and have no detectable antibodies. I got the first two doses of Pfizer last February. I had two 500 mg dose of rtx in March and September. Had first antibody test in early December followed a few days later by a Pfizer booster. Now, two months later, no antibodies detected again.

    Unfortunately, I’m between PCPs as mine retired a few days ago. I need to talk to the new PCP and learn Ohio State’s Evusheld policy. In the meantime, I’ll continue maintaining a very low profile and wearing an N95 mask whenever I’m in a public indoor space. And so it goes.
