Is covid vaccine safe for RA and CKD

2021-04-25 06:30:49
Hi, my mother (59,F) was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic kidney disease (biopsy reported it as acute pyelonephritis) in March 2020. Her sr. creatinine levels are at 1.8. I wanted to know if she could get vaccinated for covid-19. If yes, do we need to stop any medication for a while? She currently uses folic acid tablets (once a day) for anemia, T sobisis (alternate days), folitrax to reduce inflammation (once a week), Defcort 5mg (one tablet a week) for arthritis, hcqs-200 (twice a week) for RA. She also has to take cresp-25mcg once every 15 days to prevent drastic decline in her haemoglobin levels.
